Now that our transition to Canvas from Moodle is complete, it is time to begin thinking about the end of life for the Classic Quizzes. The good news is the sunset of the Classic Quizzes has been postponed two years to Summer of 2024. More information on the sunset of the Classic Quizzes is available in Canvas. Instructure, which owns and manges Canvas does a fantastic job keeping this information current.

It will be necessary to become familiar with the terminology you will see in the information that follows. If you are not sure which type of quizzes you have, please read through the information on Classic Quizzes and New Quizzes, Canvas also, uses different terms to refer to the two different question banks types. Classic Quiz banks are called Question Banks, New Quiz banks are called Item Banks.

We have a couple of options available to transition the Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes. It will be helpful to read all the information on both options before attempting to transition your quizzes. An important considerations is whether you want or need to store your questions in a question bank. Question banks help preserve your questions in an organized, safe way that allows them to be used in multiple quizzes, courses and even to share them with other instructors.

The LSS team has been working hard to gather the information that will help you make the best decision for your individual needs and to develop the instructions that will make the process as simple as possible. Additionally we will also be offering in person trainings throughout the upcoming months, We will begin with volunteers this spring and continue offering these sessions over the next few semesters. This will give faculty time to plan accordingly, watch your email for more information.

If you are one of those instructors ready to dive in and pilot the information and instructions on you own, feel free to click the link below to get started.

Note: Images do not come across with either process, and will need to be manually added back into questions.

In the meantime, reach out to your local LSS support staff with any questions, concerns or if you need assistance with this process.
