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.
