After I put in all this time to create item banks, which I am understanding are associated with my account, not with my courses, what happens to them when I leave my current district and move to a different one?
Let's say that the new district uses Canvas, wouldn't I be getting a new account? As I don't know of any way to download my current item banks, it seems I would be doomed to having to retype all the banks over again, which will be hugely painful given the huge number of questions I've created over the years.
Is there a way to move my item banks from my account to my old district to my account with a new district?

Hello @JoshuaBelland
We can share Item Banks within New Quizzes, however this is limited to your institutions Canvas instance.
If you are trying to share your Item Banks to a new account in a new Canvas instance, I would recommend sharing your Course to Commons. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Commons/How-do-I-share-a-course-to-Commons/ta-p/1793
When shared to Commons, we can then import into your new instance and your Item Banks should come across when imported. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Commons/How-do-I-import-and-view-a-Commons-resource-in-Can...
There was a thread about this I was seeing in the Community as well: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Question-Forum/How-do-I-share-a-quot-New-Quizzes-quot-quiz...
If you are seeing difficulty sharing between instances, Canvas support would be able to help as New Quizzes should be able to function when shared over Commons, and we would be glad to answer any questions about that process.
