Can I still use Classic Quizzes?

Yes, for now you can continue to build in new tests and quizzes in Classic Quizzes. Please watch this page for announcements of the timeline when Classic Quizzes will be sunset and you will need to move to New Quizzes. We will use information from Canvas to make the call.

In a small number of specialized cases, it might be better to stick with Classic Quizzes for the time being. See the New Quizzes FAQ for more information.
