New Quizzes or Classic Quizzes for recent Migrations - which did you choose?

[robin_bartolett]

For those who recently migrated to Canvas, did you choose to have Classic Quizzes or New Quizzes (or both) turned on? There is a plethora of information about quizzes available in the community - so much so that it is hard to find a simple answer. I want to know which version of quizzes recently migrating higher ed institutions have used and why. I have researched the community and have a very general grasp of the status of New Quizzes. I want to know what others are doing and the reasoning for the decision. (We are migrating from BB 9.1 to Canvas).

Thank you,

@robin_bartolett -

At my institution, we started using Canvas before New quizzes.  Therefore everyone here knew about Classic Quizzes.  new Quizzes did not turn out to be an overall improvement over classic quizzes such that you would want to go to New quizzes only.  By that I mean there are items in classic quizzes that are not available in new quizzes - in regards to settings(If I remember correctly - I still use classic quizzes, because they do what I need).  New quizzes has some nice features that classic quizzes do not.  

In all likelihood it will depend on the material being taught and what instructors want from the quizzes.  My advice (other than the confusion factor) would be to make both available.  Your job is tougher in trying to explain to instructors how to tell the differences and for them to figure out what those differences are - or which version they like.  After a while, you may find that new quizzes will be sufficient.

Good Luck.
