It focuses on the differences between it and the Classic engine, demonstrates the new workflows, discusses strengths and limitations, and should answer most if not all your questions about the new platform. New question types will be demonstrated, as well as various techniques, including the conversion of Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes, and the migration/conversion of Question Banks and their questions to Item Banks.
Participants will build new questions using newly available question types, like image hot-spot and ordering, and store them in Item Banks. Quizzes will be created drawing on these questions, quizzes will be configured with the new settings, and quizzes will be tested and graded in SpeedGrader.
