Importing ExamView Questions

For a full understanding of how to install and access ExamView question banks, visit this page.

1. When you are ready to import your test or question bank from the ExamView PC, go to File>Export>WebCT CE 6/Vista 4.. This creates a .zip file of your questions. Save this to the "Exported Question Banks" folder on the desktop, inside the folder for your name. (Create that folder if it does not already exist). It's helpful to name the file [Textbook Name] - [Module or Chapter #].

2. Go to the Canvas course in which you'd like to use the questions.*

3. From the Settings page, select the "Import Content into this course" option. Under Content Type, choose "QTI .zip file" and Browse to find the zip file you just created. Create a new question bank for each zip file you're uploading. This will keep things organized and make it easier to reference these questions in future exams.

4. Canvas imports the questions as "Unnamed Quiz," but you can rename it, change the assignment group (grade weight) and otherwise manipulate it as a quiz in Canvas. 

* If other teachers in your department share the same textbook, you may want to create a collective resources course as a repository for ExamView Questions and other resources.
