Canvas maintenance, quizzes

Hello,

 

I wanted to let you know that Canvas will undergo maintenance from 1:05 a.m. until 3:05 a.m. on Thursday, July 15. During this two-hour window, Canvas will be unavailable for roughly 2 minutes. The exact time of the system's unavailability is unknown. A system-wide announcement will be posted next week in Canvas.

 

Also, if you didn’t already know, Canvas will eventually replace its current quiz tool (known as Classic Quizzes) with a new tool creatively labeled New Quizzes. Canvas sent an email today with two links:

 

From what I can tell from the first link is that we have at least a year to get everyone trained on New Quizzes, and we can even make it available for early adopters in Spring 2022. Feel free to read the specifics. Keep in mind, though, that with rollouts of new tools and features, things have a way of changing. I’ll keep you all updated.
