Difference between classic and modern quizzes and how to force settings to modern

Hi.

What is the diffrences between classic and modern quizzes that are to require LockDownBrowser, and how do you force set quizzes as always modern quizzes?

We are having different issues between theese two, and prefer to have modern quizzes to be used as standard.

Hello @videik123 ...

There are two video tutorials here in the Canvas Community that describe the different features of current Classic Quizzes vs. New Quizzes:

Also, on the Respondus website, I found the following page for you:

LockDown Browser - Resources - Respondus

Look under the categories for "Watch the Overview Video" and "Learn how to prepare an exam" for specific videos on Canvas. (Note, under the "Overview" category, I noticed that the Classic Quizzes video is quite old and shows the old Canvas interface, but I would assume the LockDown browser settings are still similar.)

As for only wanting to use New Quizzes... in my own sandbox course, when I go to my "Quizzes" index page and click on the "+ Quiz" button, I see the following:

Notice there is a check-box at the bottom of this screen. However, that is only for this course.

I hope this will help a bit. Sing out if you have any other questions about this information...thanks!

One more question. We have not the option to choose between classic or new quizzes. Instead it's automaticaly created classic quiz when we either press quizzes+ button inside a course or we enter a course and creates a new quiz from there. Is there something in our settings that is out of standard, or is there a way to upgrade functionality back to standard?

How do I turn off continual display of rubric in speedgrader beyond having to opt for old speedgrader UI every time I grade work?
It would appear that there is a new interface for speedgrader and the rubric is now defaulted on, rather than having the tab with the option to use the rubric. I do not use the rubric unless I am deducting points. That means that I do not need rubrics very often. It looks like I can opt for "show old speedgrader UI" and…
