New Quizzes is a tool to create robust or quick quizzes/assessments within Canvas.
Important note: If you use Canvas Quizzes, the quizzes cannot be timed. If the quiz must be timed, it becomes an accommodation and DSS issue; please contact oit@law.gwu.edu as soon as possible to discuss the process further.
1. On your course page, click Quizzes in the Course Navigation Menu.
