Hi, @hatemrashad, 

Unfortunately, we have disabled the ability to use New Quizzes as a quizzing engine in Canvas Free-for-Teacher. I apologize sincerely for any inconvenience, but for a few reasons, New Quizzes isn't an option any longer in FFT. Thank you for understanding.

Is there any update on this? Any plan to return New Quizzes to FFT accounts? Huge loss. Thanks.

Hey @kbathBCP ,
From what it appears as, it seems that New Quizzes is not going to be available to FFT accounts, at least anytime soon.

I fully understand that it is a loss for several teachers that have been wanting to use it, myself included.

I'm sorry, I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out with any more concerns.

@KevinMeredith  Is there any plan to return New Quizzes to free accounts? It's a huge loss. I'm wondering also about Kelvin_Dean's "Quizzes 2" solution (much appreciated btw)! Can we expect this to remain an alternative, or could Quizzes 2 also be disabled? Thanks

Sorry to hear your frustration. Here's a workaround on how to use New Quizzes in FFT.

1. From the Course Navigation screen, do not select the Quizzes tab. Instead, select the Assignments tab > Add Assignment.
2. Give your quiz a name as usual.
3. Under Submission Type, select External Tool.
4. Under Enter or Find an External Tool URL, select Find > Quizzes 2. For added security, check the Load in a New Tab box.
5. Select from the additional options below:
   1. Anonymous Grading
   2. Anonymous Instructor Annotations
   3. Due Dates
6. Click Save, and you'll be taken to the Build page of New Quizzes.

If you do not want this quiz to be displayed in the gradebook or the student's Grades page, finish creating the quiz from the Assignments tab and do the following:

1. Return to the Quizzes or Assignments page and select the quiz you want to make changes for. Quizzes are denoted by a rocket ship.
2. Click the three dots on the right > Edit.
3. Select the Do Not Display in Gradebook or the Student's Grade Page checkbox.
4. Click Save or Build to apply your changes.

To test your setup, you will first need to publish the quiz. After publishing, select Student View in the top right. You cannot use Student View when you are currently editing content. Be sure to review any quiz content, questions, and answers before publishing (especially for formula questions), as there is a chance that some answers could have bugs (such as calculation errors in formulas).

Good Luck!

Will new quizzes ever be available in the free for teacher account.

Can anyone update me on whether Kelvin's Quizzes 2 LTI option here is going to be available indefinitely on Canvas FFT?  The issue is that I don't want to create everything in Quizzes 2 only to have it suddenly turned off without advance warning within a couple of months.  [I need this to be "alive" until the end of February 2025 at least.]  On the other hand, I use a lot of New Quiz functionalities in my employer school's version of Canvas, and would like to have them for a seminar for which I am using Canvas FFT.
