New Quizzes Replaces Classic Quizzes Summer 2022

Classic Quizzes is being replaced with the New Quizzes functionality beginning summer 2022. New Quizzes offers additional question types, additional assessment delivery options, the ability to share questions banks (now called item banks), and the ability to setup accommodations for students for all assessments in a course. A comparison of Classic Quizzes and New Quizzes features is available in the Canvas Community.

Between now and its full implementation, faculty can enable New Quizzes in their course and use both New and Classic Quizzes. Faculty are encouraged to begin moving their assessments from Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes. Watch ID&D's New Quizzes Information Webinar from May 24 for more information about New Quizzes.

Quality Matters Applying the QM Rubric Workshops

The past year has increased awareness of Salisbury University's commitment to quality course design for traditional, hybrid, remote and online courses. Through our University subscription to Quality Matters and the use of the sixth edition of the QM Rubric, more and more faculty have been including elements in their course design to support student success. We invite interested faculty and staff developing credit or non-credit hybrid, remote or online courses to take the FREE Applying the QM Rubric (APPQMR) workshop to become familiar with the standards of the QM Rubric for quality course design.

CHHS Instructional Designer, Bonni Miller hosts two, half-day, virtual APPQMR workshops on June 17-18 and June 23-24. The sessions are held via Zoom from 9 a.m. to noon each day.

Want an asynchronous online option? Instructional Design & Delivery is hosting an online APPQMR workshop from July 13-26.
