Canvas’s original quiz engine, now termed “Classic.” If you desire security from 3rd-party tools, wish to use Speedgrader, or export CSVs for student response analysis, this is the better choice. As Canvas improves New Quizzes, eventually these “Classic” capabilities will become part of New Quizzes.

This quiz engine has more question types like hotspot, categorization, matching, and ordering. It also has more moderation and accommodation features. However, it lacks some of Classic Quizzes’ capabilities.

For a comparison of features between the two quiz types, read this article: New Quizzes Feature Comparison.
