Add Quiz Questions to Canvas by Converting CSV Files to QTI ZIP Files - SPS | Distance Learning
It can be time-consuming to add questions manually to a quiz or exam in Canvas, and it is easy to accidentally omit portions of a question, introduce errors such as typos, or improperly identify a correct or incorrect response. Drafting questions directly into Canvas can also be slow and unwieldy. If you’ve been writing your questions in a word processor, you have a long copy-and-paste session ahead of you before your quiz is available to students. When you have lots of quizzes, an extensive exam, or are planning to build question banks, it is more efficient to automate the process.
Column A is the type of question: MC (multiple choice) and MR (multiple response). For True/False questions, use MC.
Column B is not used but must be there.
Column C is the point value of the question. It can be between 0-100 and up to two decimal places (3.33)
Column D is the question body.
Column E is the correct answer. The numbers 1-5 each correspond to the one of the possible answers listed in column F-J. Use 1 to indicate a, 2 to indicate b, 3 to indicate c, 4 to indicate d, and 5 to indicate e. For True/False questions, use 1 for True and 0 for False. Clear any unused cells.
Columns F-J are the possible answer choices. You can have 2 or more.
