[ARCHIVED] Loading test banks

[jpmakofske]

Can you load in a question bank from a textbook publisher into Canvas to create a quiz?  I can't believe I need to type in every question and the four multiple choice answers.

• You can export tests from TestGen, ExamView, and other testing programs to Canvas quizzes!  This is the video explaining how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbX6kPNdEUg
• His comments are: Basically, you have to export the file as a QTI file. Then in Canvas Settings, import the file as a Test Bank. In Canvas Quizzes, you import the questions from that test bank to create the quiz. Some types of questions don’t look pretty on the Canvas Quizzes, but you can edit them before publishing. 
• Hope this helps!

This helps enormously! This is one of the most often asked questions among our instructors.

Most of us are learning the finer points of using Canvas.

Thanks!
