How do I import questions from a QTI package into an item bank in New Quizzes?

You can import questions from a QTI package into an item bank. This lesson describes how to add a QTI package to an item bank by creating a new item bank. You can also add a QTI package to an empty item bank that has already been created.

Notes:

  • New Quizzes only supports imports from QTI 1.2 and 2.x versions. However, some QTI 1.2 and 2.x 3rd party packages include software-specific item types which may not be supported.
  • You can only import questions if you access item banks from the Manage Item Banks page in the Options menu. If you click the Item Banks button, you will not be able to import questions.
  • When creating an item bank from a QTI import, the new item bank is given the same title as the imported QTI file.
