The import function can be used to import questions as long as they are from supported systems or question types (see below). It is not possible to guarantee your chosen file can be imported even if it is a question type and from a system that is supported. This is because the external system may be a different version to the one that is supported.
Supported systems
- Blackboard v6-9
- Canvas
- Moodle XML
- QTI v2.1
Supported question types
- Simple MCQ
- True/false MCQ
- Multiple answer MCQ
- Short text answer
- Long essay answer
Images (png, jpeg, jpg) can be imported from Blackboard and QTI 2.1.
As the image shows it is possible to select WISEflow (.json), Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle and QTI 2.1. Be aware that each source might have different versions. The blue box gives additional information on the filetype for each source.
Before importing:
- Preview each item and question
- Check the maximum score and questions for each item
- Add tags to the items (optional)
The question(s) from the file will be imported to your content bank.
When the items with questions are imported they are available in your content bank.
If you experience problems with importing the questions, make sure that the imported file is a supported format and question type.
Each question imported is created as a separate item. It is not possible to import multiple questions into the same item.
