[ARCHIVED] QTI Import from McGraw-Hill to Canvas

[mpatterson]

I have read a few opinions on how to import QTI exam format from McGraw-Hill.  Nothing has worked, I still get a failed message.  The file I download is in XML format.  I've tried six times and still get the same message.  I am using the classic quizzes. 

When I try to ask a question, it also fails.

Help?

Hi @mpatterson, did you extract the files after downloading the QTI format? To import a QTI file successfully, you will need to keep the zip file intact without extracting the files.

The McGraw-Hill tech support, Gina, and I spent 20 minutes playing with the file format.  You must upload the zip file to Canvas or it won't work.  My computer automatically converts zips to other file formats.  So, I went back in my files to where the file was still in zip format, dragged it to my desktop, then uploaded it into Canvas.  Worked!

How do I save my McGraw hill files in connect to download then in Canvas?

@JenniferBragg In McGraw Hill is a quiz builder and one of the export options is a QTI.  It will export the quiz you build as a QTI file but it will look like a zip file.  Do not make any changes to that file (as indicated in this thread) and then use the Canvas import tool to import a QTI.  

There may be other ways but I have only seen it work by using the quiz builder tool and exporting.

Hope this helps!
