New Quizzes display as assignments in the Assignments page and can be duplicated. Students can take New Quizzes quizzes within their Canvas courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quizzes in Canvas work a little differently from the Quizzes in D2L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the same?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-compact-list\">\n<li>You will have similar settings and question types when creating your quiz.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can store your questions in a central location to reuse and manage them. In D2L, it is the <strong>Question Library,<\/strong> and in Canvas, it is the <strong>Item Bank<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is different?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-compact-list\">\n<li>Any updates made to a question in the Item Bank will push out the update to the question in the quizzes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In Canvas, the creation process is not all on one screen. You will enter the basic information, including point values and dates, before building the quiz by adding questions and selecting the settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In Canvas, the <strong>Item Bank<\/strong>, which is equivalent to the Question Library, can be shared with other courses and people. It is a user-specific bank of questions as opposed to a course-specific bank of questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating Quizzes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list
