One of Canvas LMS’ core functionalities has always been quizzes, allowing instructors to assess student understanding and track progress. However, the evolution of online learning demands more flexible assessment tools. That's why Canvas introduced New Quizzes and now, the journey to New Quizzes just got smoother and more data-informed, thanks to a powerful integration with Impact! If your institution is still using Classic Quizzes, or if you've started exploring New Quizzes but haven't fully transitioned, this integration is a game-changer. It simplifies the migration process and provides valuable data to drive adoption and optimize your assessment strategies.
Impact: Your Guide to a Smooth Transition
Migrating to a new tool can be daunting. Where do you start? How do you track progress? How do you ensure that faculty are on board? That's where Impact shines. It helps with initial transition and ongoing adoption. It acts as your personalized guide, providing the tools and data you need for a successful migration. Not only that, but Impact provides value to you immediately through out-of-the-box (OOTB) content, so that you don’t have to define data points or spend time creating messaging content if you don’t want to do so.
