Quercus Tip: Unpublishing Quizzes
When copying over a previous course into a new course shell, instructors are reminded to unpublish all quizzes that will be copied over. This will ensure that quizzes in the new course are not immediately visible to students. When you copy over a previous course, the old quiz availability dates are erased, which means all quizzes are visible unless instructors adjust the dates to match the new course timelines for each quiz.
Reach out to tts.artsci@utoronto.ca with any questions or requests for support regarding this process.
