[ARCHIVED] Quiz Questions Not Showing in the question bank

[DaliaTawadrous]

I copied questions from my previous course to the current one. Now I'm trying to create a new quiz using question bank. When I click on question bank then unfiled questions to find quiz question, I don't see any questions listed. how can I make the old quiz questions (that are copied from the previous course) show in the current course? Thank you!

Hi @DaliaTawadrous 

I have not done this in quite awhile, but I believe the trick is to export the quiz as a QTI file, then upload that QTI file into the new course. It will then add the questions from the quiz to the Question Bank.

• How do I export quiz content from a course?

• How do I import quizzes from QTI packages?

I just tested this in a sandbox, and it worked as expected.

I'm having the same problem, but the export/import trick isn't working. One difference perhaps is that I'd like to reuse the questions in the same course rather than a new course, and I created the original quiz in "old quizzes" rather than "new quizzes" and it's been imported from a prior class. When I export, I get a QTI file. But when I import that QTI file, selecting the desired question bank for the import, the import completes successfully, but the questions don't show up in the question bank. Argh! I'd be grateful for any further suggestions you can offer.

Thanks,

Rip

The export/import trick used to work, but now it doesn't. Did the new quiz option kill our old question banks? If they are making new options, why not make it easier to copy questions to a bank directly from each quiz?

The QTI method did not work for me, but going to Settings, then "Import Content," then choosing a course, then selecting specific content allowed me to select the Question Bank from a specific course and I was able to import it.
