Effortless Quiz Creation: Free Tool by Lawrence S. Ting School to Convert DOCX to QTI for Canvas LMS

[thienhb]

Hello from Lawrence S. Ting School in Vietnam!
As educators who have been using Canvas LMS since 2019, we understand the challenges of creating quizzes efficiently. That’s why we’ve developed a free tool at https://utility.lsts.edu.vn/convert-quiz. This tool allows you to convert questions from a DOCX file into QTI format, which can be imported directly into Canvas to create quizzes or item banks in no time.

Step 1: Prepare a DOCX File with Questions (download template here, or the attached file in this post)

• Questions: Use the Numbered List Paragraph Style for questions (e.g., 1., 2., etc.). Order does not matter.
• Multiple-choice answers: Use the List Paragraph Style, marked alphabetically (e.g., a), b), or A., B.). Indicate correct answers with an exclamation mark !.
  Example:
  1. What is 2+2?

  a) 3

  b) !4

  c) 5
• Multiple answers: Add [ ] before the question text. Mark correct choices with an asterisk *.
  Example:
  2. Select all prime numbers:

  [*] 2

  [*] 3

  [ ] 4
• Content supported:
  • Text, images, tables, formulas (use Microsoft Equation for formulas)
  • Special characters: Enclose in double quotes (" ") or backticks (``), e.g., <br>, <=.
• Use <br> at the start of the second line if the question spans multiple lines.
• Code lines are not supported.

Step 2: Convert DOCX File to QTI

1. Visit https://utility.lsts.edu.vn/convert-quiz.
2. Upload your DOCX file and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Download the generated QTI file (zipped format) after conversion.

Step 3: Import the QTI File into Canvas

1. Go to your Canvas course.
2. Click "Import Existing Content" on the homepage or select "Import Course Content" from the Settings page.
3. In the Content Type dropdown menu, select "QTI .zip file".
4. Click "Choose File" and upload the QTI file.
5. Click "Import" and wait for the process to complete.
