Canvas has two quiz engines. New quizzes is recommended if you are going to reuse your quizzes in the future. If a more advanced quizzing tool is needed KTH also has access to Möbius (see the bottom of the page).

Classic Quizzes

For the time being, if you need security from 3rd-party tools, Speedgrader, or CSVs for student response analysis, this is the better choice.

New Quizzes

This has more question types like hot spot, categorisation, matching and ordering. It also has more moderation and accommodation features.

We recommend that you go to Quizzes in the left hand menu to create a new quiz. You will see an information box and Canvas will ask you to choose which quiz engine you want to use.

Please note: if you create a new quiz via a module the information box will not appear and Classic Quiz is automatically chosen.

Change a Classic quiz to New Quizzes

Select the course navigation menu's Quizzes. To the right of each quiz, there are three points that when clicking will give you different action options.
Select "Migrate". The questions have now been transferred to the new quiz engine However, you should go through the quiz questions, some formatting such as line breaks may have changed. Groups with questions can not be transferred, the questions need to be individual.

Canvas quizzes or Möbius?

Most of the time Canvas quizzes is enough, but if you are unsure which one is for you, please head over to Module B: Advanced quiz engine - Möbius and read up on Möbius. To help determine which one you need you can also take the Möbius quiz!
