Moving quizzes between sections

Moving quiz content between sections

Moving quiz content between sections is an easy three step process that takes less than 5 minutes.

  1. Create an export file of the quiz database and/or quizzes
  2. Move the export file to your My Files area
  3. Import the file into another section

Step 1 - Create an export file of the quiz database and/or quizzes.

You have the option of exporting just the quiz database (questions only) or your actual quiz. The latter will export your quizzes intact, but include only the questions in each quiz, not necessarily all the questions in your database.

Exporting quizzes

  1. From the Build Tab, click on the Assessments link under Course Tools.
  2. Click the box next to each quiz you want to move. To move all the quizzes, click the box next to "Title".

  3. Click the Export button at the bottom of the page.
  4. When prompted, save your quizzes to a file (e.g. quizzesWMU1010.zip). This will save the file to your Class Files area. Ignore the popup messages.
  5. Press the Return button after the export has finished.
  6. Continue to Step 2.

Exporting questions only

  1. From the Build Tab, click on the Assessments link under Course Tools.
  2. Click the "Go to Question Database" button at the time.
  3. Click on "Question View" at the top right.
