Migrate a Classic Quiz to a New Quiz

When a course is copied from a previous semester, Classic Quizzes will default to automatically migrate to New Quizzes. When migrating a Classic Quiz with question groups, each question group will convert to an individual Item Bank. Item Banks are groups of questions that go together and where all questions that in the Item Bank can be randomly distributed to students when the Item Bank is added to an assessment.

There are two ways of migrating a classic quiz

• Method 1: Migrate a single assessment

• Method 2: Migrate during import/course copy process

Method 1: Migrate a single assessment step-by-step guide

1. In your MyClasses course, select Quizzes from the course navigation. Locate the Classic Quiz that needs to be migrated, then click the three dots to the right of it (a) and select Migrate (b).
   
   

    

2. When the Classic Quiz is finished migrating, the duplicate New Quiz will appear with a filled in rocket icon. The original Classic Quiz will remain in the course with the outline of a rocket icon. Faculty are encouraged to review the New Quiz version of the assessment to ensure everything transferred over correctly and before deleting the Classic Quiz version.
