New Quizzes

The "New Quizzes" engine will become the default quiz engine at GTCC.

Prospective Date for transition: Fall 2025

New Quizzes Migration

Both Classic Quizzes and Question Banks can be migrated to New Quizzes and Item Banks during the course import- "copying process". (Select the box to import existing quizzes as "New Quizzes". This will automatically migrate all of the classic quizzes in the course.

Classic Quizzes can also be migrated at the individual level via the "Quizzes" page in a course. (See the images below.)

What should you do?

Start migrating your Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes.
As you begin the migration check the following:
- All questions migrate
- All images migrate
- Adjust the points allotted for each quiz question. The migration defaults all point values per question to 1 point.
- Edit the quiz settings, e.g., available from dates, available until dates, and due dates
Submit an eLearning Help Desk Ticket if assistance is needed.

Migration Issues

Issue: We have noticed that when migrating quizzes via the course Export feature, that there is a slight delay with the quizzes copying into the new course. It can take up to 24 hours for a course with a lot of quizzes migrating to complete the migration process. There have also been incidents of the quizzes breaking during the migration process.

Solution: Any quizzes that do not copy, or have Retry button listed under it under the Assignments or Quizzes link, should be recopied into the course. Delete the broken one, and then attempt to recopy the quiz into the course, or reattempt migrating the quiz.

Issue: Quiz images not migrating with the quiz.

Solution: Manually add any missing images to the quiz.

Issue: Quiz Settings and points per question are not migrating or copying into the new course.

Solution: Manually check the quiz settings and the points per question prior to publishing the quiz in the new course.

Issue: The New Quizzes are automatically migrated or copied into a group titled, "Imported Assignments".

Solution: By Default Canvas will migrate, or copy content into the Imported Assignments group. Move the Quiz to the appropriate weighted grade group. Once the quizzes are moved, delete the imported assignments group. Content left in the Imported Assignments group will not be calculated into the students weighted grade.
