Import a .csv file as a new quiz

How do I import a .csv file to create a quiz

Hi @LessieOliver-Cl,

Canvas imports quizzes which are in QTI format (an international standard quiz file format most learning management systems use).  Unfortunately, Canvas does not accept quiz imports directly via CSV, likely for a number of reasons.  You'll need to find a system that would convert your CSV to a QTI file, then import it into the New Quiz.  I believe there are a number of converters available, including Respondus (for a fee), but I don't have much personal experience to recommend a specific tool for this.

I hope this info helps!

What template should be used for the CSV quiz? I keep getting an error message once I have converted it to QTI
