Create QTI for import

[woda]

Hi,

I want to create a question bank outside of Canvas and import it to Canvas. I figure that QTI files would be the best option to do this. Is there a tool out there that can create a QTI file compatible with Canvas from, say, a CSV or JSON file containing multiple choice questions?

What would be the best way to go about this?

Best,

Hello @woda,

Kansas State University has a tool you can use to turn a CSV into a QTI file. I would recommend following the instructions on this Northwestern University page for formatting the CSV for proper conversion. That page also includes a link to KSU's tool. You can then take the created QTI and use the Import Existing Content button from homepage of the course and choose to import a QTI package. There is a selection to create a new question bank.

This may also create a Quiz, but you can delete that if you do not want it.

Let us know how this goes for you so we know if it's a viable solution for others.

Best of luck,

James
