Starting in the Spring term, we will begin the migration process from Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes to ensure a smooth transition before Classic Quizzes are phased out. New Quizzes offer enhanced question types, improved analytics, and greater flexibility in assessment design.
We encourage you to begin exploring New Quizzes and updating your course materials accordingly. If you have any questions or need support during this transition, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Center for Academic Innovation for guidance and assistance. We look forward to working with you to make this a successful transition!
