The eLearning Department can help you import quizzes and tests, but there are limits to what is reasonable to set up. We want to steer you towards a solution that works for you and your students. A bank of questions that does not match your course's actual content, is full of errors, or is improperly set up will not serve you or your students well. Here are some guidelines that have resulted from our experience working with quizzes in Canvas.

How eLearning can Help Set up Question Banks from Publishers

Online Tool from Publisher

QTI or "WebCT" imports

Word Document or "Respondus" imports

If you utilize an online tool from the publisher to deliver your quizzes, eLearning can help integrate that tool into Canvas.

Different publishers allow for different levels of integration. Check with eLearning to learn more.

If the publishers materials are in a .qti format, we have found importing banks of 400 or fewer questions has been manageable.

If Word docs or RTF docs are the source of the publisher questions, each and every question requires reformatting. We have found that 300 or fewer questions are manageable.

Quality Assurance Process and Responsibilities

Instructor Responsibilities	eLearning Responsibilities
Read each question for errors and course relevance Take each quiz once	Verify that the number of questions matches the import file. Spot check each question bank. Review 10 percent of questions in each bank. If an issue is discovered, assume other issues exist in the rest of the bank.

Maintenance Process and Responsibilities

Textbook change - textbook changes can make the quizzes outdated. The instructor is responsible for reviewing all quizzes after any textbook change and updating the quizzes if necessary. Typically each new textbook version of the quiz will necessitate repeating the quiz building process from the beginning.
