Introducing New Quizzes

When creating a quiz in GLOW,  you will now have the option to choose Classic Quizzes or New Quizzes. This allows you to become acquainted with the New Quiz features before fully moving to it in the Summer of 2024.

New Quizzes Release Timeline

  • Fall, 2021: New Quizzes engine is enabled at the course level, allowing the instructor to enable via the Course Settings.
  • Summer, 2022:  New Quizzes are enabled at the site level and the instructors have the option to choose as they are adding a quiz.
  • June 2024: New Quizzes will replace the Classic Quizzes and old Classic Quizzes will stop working.
