In collaboration with the Canvas Commons Team, we are thrilled to announce an exciting new integration that brings New Quizzes to Canvas Commons! This enhancement empowers educators to more seamlessly share quizzes, opening new opportunities for collaboration and time savings when curating content. With New Quizzes Commons’ support, educators can now effortlessly share New Quizzes with other institutions—whether for personal use or within their district or consortium. Teaching and learning just got a whole lot more connected!

 

What’s New?

Available in our Beta environment starting today, Educators can share quizzes built in New Quizzes with the Canvas Commons community. Whether you’re looking to streamline your own teaching resources or collaborate with colleagues, this integration provides a simple, effective way to discover and share quality quiz content across the Canvas ecosystem.

Note: Item Banks are included in Commons imports and exports. A preview for these items will not be available at this time, as it is planned for a future enhancement.

 

Why This Matters

At Canvas, we know collaboration is key to effective teaching. By enabling New Quizzes sharing within Canvas Commons, we’re making it easier for educators to access, customize, and share assessments tailored to their instructional needs. This functionality ensures that educators, schools, and districts can better collaborate, reducing duplicate effort and enhancing the quality of educational resources available in their communities.

Hello @BalazsSerenyi  - this is great news. I have a question: in the past, you could share an entire course to Commons. If that course included a New Quiz, would that Quiz not be included in the package? My institution has mostly been doing full courses, not individual items. I didn't realize that there may have been an issue with New Quizzes. Thanks
