How do I create question banks from existing quizzes?

Body

Follow these instructions to create question banks from your existing quizzes in an original course:

  1. Created a master shell course and called it [your name] Question Banks.  You can use this in the future, too, for other test.  It’s all yours!
  2. Open the original course that has the quizzes but no question banks—e.g., CU 108 - 9999 – SU19 – Outlook.
    • Open Settings > Course Details > Export Course Contents > select Quiz > select some or all of the quizzes you want to export > click on Create Export.
    • You will get an email that includes a link to a .ZIP file—when it arrives, download the file to your desktop or other storage location for easy access.
  3. Open the master shell course Settings > Course Details > Import Course Contents > under Content Type, select QTI .zip file.
    • Under Source > Choose File > select the .ZIP file you stored in item 4 above.
    • Do nothing under Default Question bank.
    • Under Options, put a check mark in the Overwrite assessment content with matching IDs box.
    • Click on Import and wait for the import to complete.
    • Go to Quizzes and select the three vertical dots in the upper right corner and click on Manage Question Banks.
  4. Because you did this process in the master shell, now you can import the question banks to your original course:
    • Open the original course Settings > Course Details > Import Course Contents > under Content Type, select Copy a Canvas Course.
    • Under Search for a course, select the master shell course.
    • Under Content, mark the Select specific content.
    • Click on Import.
    • At the Current Jobs list, to the right of the course you are importing from, click Select Content.
    • Click on the arrow to the left of Question Banks and choose any or all of the question banks.
    • Click on Select Content and wait for the import to complete.
    • Go to Quizzes and select the three vertical dots in the upper right corner and click on Manage Question Banks.
    • Go to Quizzes and create quizzes by pulling from question banks!
