If you build and operate quizzes or exams in D2L, beginning Friday, September 27, a new question editor D2L called the “New Quiz Builder Experience” will be shown in D2L. This will not be a comprehensive reconstruction of the quiz editor. It will not impact how students see or take a quiz or exam.
As of now, you are
able to opt-out of this new screen. However, it does represent a new, more
practical set of screens that D2L is creating so that quizzes are easier to
build and maintain. Take a look at this short preview video:
If you have any questions about building and operating quizzes in D2L, Email Mark Gallimore, director of the Center for Online Learning and Innovation, at gallimom@canisius.edu.

Your form can skip irrelevant questions, ask personalized questions that refer to things entered earlier or show images as part of questions. Use Email lists to send personalized invitations and reminders to respondents and record their participation, whether or not their results are kept anonymous.
The next Advanced Qualtrics workshop will take place on Thursday, September 26 at 3:00 p.m. in Science Hall 036.
