How do I import quizzes from QTI packages?

Body

Open Settings

In Course Navigation, click the Settings link.

Import Content into Course

Click the Import Course Content button.

Select Content Type

In the drop-down menu, select the QTI .zip file option.

Choose File

Click the Choose File button.

Open File

Find and click the ZIP file you want to import [1]. Click the Open button [2].

Import Assessments to Quizzes.Next

To import assessment content created in Quizzes.Next, click the Import assessment content as Quizzes.Next option.

Selecting this option will convert assessments in the import package to Quizzes.Next format. If not selected, assessment content will convert to Canvas Quizzes format.

Note: You cannot select a default question bank when using the Import assessment content as Quizzes.Next option.

Overwrite Assessment Content

To overwrite the assessment content with matching IDs, click the Overwrite assessment... checkbox.

Some systems recycle their IDs for each new export. Therefore, if you export two separate question banks they will have the same IDs. To prevent losing assessment data Canvas treats the question banks as separate objects despite the IDs. Choosing this option will disable this safety feature and allow assessment data to overwrite existing data with the same IDs.

Select Question Bank

In the Default Question bank drop-down menu, select the Question bank you want to use for your question bank.

Create Question Bank

If you do not have a question bank you want to use, you can create a new question bank. In the drop-down menu, select the Create new question bank option.

Import Course

Click the Import button.

View Current Jobs

The Current Jobs section displays the status of your import. Running reports display a menu bar with the time remaining to complete the import [1].

If you chose to select specific content in your course, the current job will show as Waiting for Select [2], which means you must select the content you want to import.

The import may also display other status indicators as part of the import process. Learn more about course import statuses.

When the course has completed, view your quizzes by accessing the Quizzes page Course Navigation.
