Hola Canvas,
First of all, thank you for your support. You guys are great.
Today, I seek to upload quizzes into Canvas that I have stored in a Blackboard file.
For your convenience, I'm attaching three different versions of the same quiz.
a. Notepad format
b. Byu test generator format
c. My own version - I'm not sure what it is, but I see it included correct answers.
Here is my question: Can you provide me step-by-step instructions how to insert a quiz like this into my Canvas course shell? Do you need any further information. How can I create quizzes on Canvas without entering each question one at a time.
Please let me know.
Thank you for all you do!
Paz,
JL
Solved! Go to Solution.
Canvas only accepts QTI files; so of the three formats you have listed, only one will work for you and that is the TestGen one, and it will only work if you created that export file as a Bb export file.
You can learn how at How do I import quizzes from QTI packages?
And, other than building then uploading from products like TestGen, ExamView, Respondus, publisher sites and other apps that create QTI files; you are stuck with the tedious reality of one-question-at-a-time.
If this gives you any challenges, come back and we will try to troubleshoot for you.
