How do I convert a big exam into online exam?

[colleen_shipkow]

What's the fastest way to convert a big exam that was written in class (with multiple choice, true-false, matching, essay, and fill-in the blank questions) to an online test without having to type each question in by hand in the quiz section?

I have the test on a flash drive as a file both word and PDF. HELP!  Colleen

Hello  @colleen_shipkow ‌

I'm so glad you have it  available in a Word document!  The goal is to get it to a format called "QTI" which can be imported into Canvas.  Unfortunately this isn't a native feature of Canvas - but there are some tools out there to do it.

30 day trial for Respondus

ExamView ($100)

Eastern Washington University has a great tutorial on using Respondus

after that you can import it to Canvas: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-15064-4152780901

Hello  @colleen_shipkow ...

I'll just add a bit to what  @tdw  mentioned about the Respondus 4.0 Exam Authoring Tool...  I have a complete write-up on what that software does, and you can find it here: Batch Uploading Quiz Questions with Respondus‌.  I hope this will be of help to you, Colleen.
