There are many great updates coming to Quizzes, but unfortunately they will not launch until 2017. What’s different is that quizzes will be created through LTI integration (by creating an assignment).
Some features that our faculty have been requesting will be added:
The ability to print quizzes
Extra Credit quizzes
Improved mathematics features
Likert Scale
Hot spot quizzes
"None of the above" option will not shuffle when shuffling answers
Vary points by answer
Improved reporting features for both Faculty and Students
Improved mobile-friendly features
Autograde and Regrade
Enhanced moderations (for accommodations)
New features that faculty will find useful
Quiz results are much more visible
Menu bar on left (for Faculty and Students) shows type of question and flow of test
Individual quiz questions can be aligned to outcomes
File upload restrictions will be added
Ability to add an honor code for academic integrity - shouldn't this be possible for all assignments and not just quizzes?
Section/page breaks
Institutions can try out quizzes.next in beta, but the questions are only available in multiple choice for now. Trial ends August 1.
Questions
Will it still be possible to import a quiz from another LMS?
Will we be able to create a quiz off-line and then import into Canvas?
Can we add the honor code feature to all assignments and not just quizzes?
I like the idea of printing out quizzes but they didn't address how you will get the data back into Canvas. Hopefully there will be a way to import student answers.
