View the Canvas | New Quizzes Feature Comparison for a detailed comparison of the various features offered by Classic Quizzes and New Quizzes.

You may want to use Classic Quizzes if you need these features:

• You have question banks with your quizzes (question banks themselves cannot be migrated to New Quizzes Item Banks). All questions must be added to a quiz to migrate well.
• You need surveys (graded or non-graded).
• You need practice quizzes (however, you can make New Quizzes worth 0 points or exclude them from .
• You need the Section Filter (to filter quiz results by section), Student Analysis and/or the Item Analysis download.
• You use Respondus to create or organize your questions or quizzes and then upload to Canvas.

You may want to use New Quizzes if you need these features:

• You need to use a "Stimulus" question type (as well as Hotspot, Ordering, Categorization).
• You need additional accommodation options.
• You want to have the question points be different than the total quiz points (for example, 35 questions but worth a total of 100 points).
• You want to allow partial points for some question types, like Matching.
• You want to print the quiz.
• You want more robust regrade options.

Before switching to New Quizzes be aware of these known issues:

• Canvas Admin/Staff Support users cannot copy Item Banks for you even though they have access to them as it will automatically make that user then new owner of the Item Bank.
• No search feature to find individual questions across Item Banks.
• There are no descriptions for Item Banks, so you need to have a very thorough naming scheme.
• If you share an Item Bank, the other instructor will have full access rights to delete/modify. It is recommended to copy the bank, then share the copy.
• Reports may take 24 to 48 hours to generate.
• There is no link from a question in a quiz to the Item Bank where it is located, so you don't know which Item Bank you got it from.
