Desire2Learn

Using ExamView you can export tests and question banks to a format that can be brought into Desire2Learn (v.8.0-8.2). This
feature gives you the flexibility to create questions in ExamView and then deliver them online via Desire2Learn.

ExamView does not yet offer a Desire2Learn-native export format. However, test and question bank questions can be
uploaded to a Desire2Learn (v.8.0-8.2) LMS using another format already available.

This section covers the following topics:
