How do I copy a quiz to another course in New Quizzes?

As an instructor, you can copy individual new quizzes in one course directly into any active course in which you are enrolled as an instructor. You can also send new quizzes to other instructors at your institution.

When you copy a new quiz, any assets within that quiz (images, files, etc.) are included in the file copy.

Notes:  

  • To share course content, you must have the Course Content - add / edit / delete permission enabled.
  • Shared content does not count against course or user quotas.
  • To import changes to a New Quizzes quiz, you must duplicate the quiz and then import the new quiz into your course.
