To convert a classic Canvas Quiz to the New Quizzes format, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Quizzes: From your Canvas course homepage, click on the "Quizzes" link in the course navigation menu.
- Access the Quiz Options: Locate the classic quiz you want to convert. To the right of the quiz's name, you'll see a drop-down menu (usually represented by three vertical dots).
- Initiate Migration: Click the drop-down menu and select "Migrate quiz." This starts the conversion process.
- Migration in Progress: A notification labeled "Migration in progress" will appear at the top of the Quizzes page, indicating that the conversion is underway.
- Locate the Migrated Quiz: Once the migration is complete, the new quiz will be available. It might be easiest to find it by looking in the left sidebar menu.
Important Considerations:
- Review After Migration: After the migration completes, carefully review the new quiz to ensure all questions, settings, and point values transferred correctly. Some features and question types may behave differently in New Quizzes.
- Features may differ: Be aware that not all features from classic quizzes are directly transferable to New Quizzes. You may need to make adjustments or find alternative solutions for certain functionalities. Refer to the official Canvas documentation for a detailed comparison of features.
- Considerations Before Migrating: Before migrating a quiz that is currently active, it is best to make a copy of the quiz before migrating to avoid any unexpected issues.
