Importing Question Content Into Moodle
ExamView does not yet offer a Moodle-native export format. However, test and question bank questions can be uploaded to a
Moodle LMS using another format that is already available.
1 Create or open a test/question bank in ExamView.
2 Click File from the menu bar, mouse over Export and select Blackboard 6.0– 7.0.
3 Select the save location, enter a file name and click Save. The question content will be saved as a ZIP file.
l
Take note of where the file is being saved as you will need to locate it later extract the question information.
l
Although a filename was entered, no file will actually be saved until the Export to Blackboard dialog is completed.
4 Complete the dialog options with any entry.
These dialog options are not used by Moodle but are required to complete the export process for Blackboard.
5 Click OK to complete the export. The questions and any images (including equations, which are converted to images)
are compressed into a zip file.
Images must each be uploaded into Moodle and re-linked to the question separate from uploading the question content.
6 Unzip the file and save the extracted files.
7 From within your Moodle course, navigate to the Edit questions page within the Quizzes section.
8 Select a Category from the drop-down menu or create a new category by clicking Edit categories.
9 Click Import questions from file below the Create new question drop-down menu.
10 Select Blackboard from the File format drop-down menu.
IMPORTANT
Do not select either the ExamView or Blackboard V6+ options for the format.
11 Click Browse and navigate to the extracted files. Select the res00000.dat file to upload.
12 Click Upload this file.
13 A summary page of the imported questions appears. Click Continue to complete the import process.
