Is Canvas still getting rid of the Classic Quiz and forcing everything to become a New Quiz? If so, what's the end date?
While that was indeed the plan for a while, Instructure has decided to not eliminate Classic Quizzes a couple of years ago.

Hi @Teachera,
Just to add quickly to what @Gabriel33 said, while Instructure does not currently have a sunset date for Classic Quizzes, your own school/institution might have set their own date.
For my institution, we'll be disabling the creation of any new classic quizzes at the end of April of this year.

When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
