Hi @DURGANANDA_1970,

According to the Canvas Account Comparison - Instructure Community document, New Quizzes are not actually supported in the free-for-teacher instance.  I know there were a few edge cases where New Quizzes became available by mistake a few years ago, but I'd say in general if you're using the free-for-teacher Canvas, you'll want to stick to using Classic Quizzes at this time (subject to change in the future, of course).

Hey @DURGANANDA_1970 ,

I wanted to validate that you are correct, just recently new quizzes creation in free for teacher was available (just a few days ago). While I am personally unsure of what happened and why this behavior occurred, it was likely a glitch or mistake on the back-end that allowed end users to accidentally create new quizzes.

However, @Chris is correct, New Quizzes isn't fully available in free for teacher at this time. While this could be changed in the future, right now free for teacher users are only able to utilize the classic quizzes tool.

All the best!
