New Quizzes (aka Quizzes.Next) in Canvas
Quizzes.Next was the original name given to Canvas’s alternative quiz/test assessment engine introduced in 2018. As of summer 2019, Canvas has begun referring to this tool as “New Quizzes.” Although originally it was expected that Quizzes.Next would completely replace the original Quiz tool by early 2019, it is no longer clear when this might happen.
Teachers can use Quizzes.Next to create assessments using a variety of question types, including some unavailable in the original Quiz tool. Quizzes.Next assessments are a particular type of Assignment rather than a distinct tool.

Countdown to Canvas: 3 weeks to go
Canvas is now MiraCosta’s sole course management system!
Blackboard and Moodle access links have been removed from https://miracosta.edu/online to eliminate any confusion for our summer students.
Faculty who are continuing to access old courses in Blackboard and Moodle may do so until June 30 via:
- Blackboard: https://blackboard.miracosta.edu/
- Moodle: https://miracosta.mrooms.net/
If you need to catch up on details about extracting course content and data from the older systems, please see my previous Countdown to Canvas message.
Happy Summer!
Jim Julius, Ed.D.
Faculty Director, Online Education
