Hi professorplumb Welcome to the Canvas Community.

It is a challenge moving from one LMS to another, there will be things you will miss and hopefully things you find are better. It takes time, and you have done the number 1 best thing by joining the Community. So many people here to share ideas, problem solve with, or have a laugh or a grumble with. 

Back to your question.

I'm not to sure if you are a student or instructor but will take a guess that you are an instructor. If I've got that wrong please let me know.

I found these discussions that might be of assistance to you:

Random questions from pools/banks 

Quizzes with multiple attempts where questions are randomly selected from question bank 

and a guide:

How do I create a quiz by finding questions in a question bank? 

And a quick google came up with this:

Uploading a Test/Question Bank into Canvas

To upload questions into Canvas follow the steps below.

How to upload tests into Canvas

1. Log in to your Canvas account. The Dashboard page appears.
2. Select the desired course name. The Course Home page appears.
3. From the left toolbar, click Settings. Course Details appears.
4. From the right toolbar, click Import Content into this Course. The Import Content page appears.
5. From the Content Type drop down, select Blackboard 6/7/8/9 export .zip file. More import options appear.
6. Click Browse. Navigate to where you saved the ExamView test export and click Open.
7. Select All Content from the Content option.
8. Click Import. The import will process and the test will now appear in Quizzes.
