Create an assignment with the new Quiz Designer

The new Quiz Designer provides an updated efficient interface for creating and editing homework or quiz assignments.

The Quiz Designer is only available through the Content Manager user interface (check out Use the Content Manager technology preview).

IMPORTANT: New Content Manager and Quiz Designer features are being rolled out in stages as a technology preview. Updates are planned on a schedule separate from other Möbius updates, and new features will be added and enabled when ready.

The Quiz Designer isn't currently compatible with any other assignments created or edited in the Assignment Editor.

When opening those assignments for editing in the Content Manager, you'll still be directed to the Assignment Editor (check out Edit an assignment).
