[ARCHIVED] Using Respondus to Migrate Moodle Quiz Banks into Canvas...procedures?

[DouglasHanna]

Hi all,

I've searched, but maybe not good enough so thought I'd just ask:

Has anyone developed procedures on using Respondus 4.0 to export quiz banks from Moodle into Canvas?

I've found the 'Retrieval' tab in Respondus, but I don't have Admin privileges in Moodle to grab banks so that way may not work for me. 

Any  other ideas?  Many thanks for ideas!

Hi Doug,

Moodle supports exporting to XHTML, which you could try. After you download the XHTML file, open it in the browser & copy/paste into a Word document.Respondus can import Word documents, but you might need to play with the format.

Alternately, you could download a copy of Moodle to run locally on your own computer- where you would be the admin. Then download a copy of your courses, and import them into your local Moodle instance. From there, you could use Respondus to retrieve the quizzes. It's just a matter of how many you have that will tell you which approach is better.
