How do I bulk import about 100 .qti question bank files into Canvas?

Nevermind. I don't think I can.

I fear you face an exercise in tedium, @DeletedUser, with the situation you describe. Canvas isn't written to have the meta awareness automatically to take a single file and recognize that it has a bunch of QTI files inside (as I related in my reply to @dbrace). So what I would do in your situation is one of two things:

1. Script the import using an API, which would at least save you from the separate imports
2. Write a QTI file that would treat each of the ones you have as separate banks

I do not have these skills else I would provide something tangible. I'm going to move your question to the Developers group, whose members are more likely to have these skills.

@ProfessorBeyrer,

I believe you have some experience with QTI files but I am not sure if you have come across this before.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks @dbrace for tagging me. I have seen QTI files bundled together, but they've always been separate components of another ZIP file. I ran into this when a publisher shared their test banks with an instructor. It was a single ZIP file and I hoped it would become a bunch of quizzes within Canvas but the import failed. I then looked inside the ZIP file and saw a bunch of ZIP files. It turned out that each of those was a QTI file but they had to be separately imported. Fortunately there were fewer than a 100!
