In late December (after finals), eLearning@UNG (D2L) will upgrade the D2L Quizzes interface with the “new quiz experience.” The new quiz has a simplified design to make creating quizzes easier. There will be an opt-out feature for instructors if the old quiz layout is preferred.

The redesigned create and edit screen in Quizzing has the same layout as Assignments, making it familiar and easy to learn.

First Look: Get a sneak peek at the new quiz experience and some of the features.
