Google Docs to Quiz

[dheup]

Hello,

I am looking for an easier way than copy & paste to make a quiz from a Google doc. Is there a better solution than "Automagical Forms" which costs $260 per year?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi @dheup,

You could check out Respondus, which has some software to try to convert a word doc into a quiz (and you could download the google doc as word format).  I don't know the license cost for it, and I can say I haven't personally had great luck in the few times I've tried to help faculty use their software, but I know others love the program.  We usually end up doing copy/paste to ensure everything ends up exactly how everyone wants it.  It's definitely a laborious and tedious task, but for a few small quizzes it's doable.

Hello @dheup ...

I also agree with @chriscas about using Respondus.  I actually have a blog post here in the Community about what it is and what it does, so you can read more about it here: Batch Uploading Quiz Questions with Respondus.  I no longer have access to this software, however, as I am no longer at the school where I used Respondus to build quizzes.  However, if you have any questions, I can try and help as best I can.

Hello,

Unfortunately, Respondus won't work for us since we are on Macs. I'm also guessing their website (https://web.respondus.com/support/online-order-form/) that says the software runs on Windows 10, 8, 7 is simply out of date and it will actually run on Windows 11.
