Importing Quiz Questions

For quiz questions some instructors may want to use "test banks" provided by textbook publishers or existing Word documents. If properly formatted, files containing test and quiz questions can be imported directly into Desire2Learn, bypassing the need to copy and paste questions individually.  However, other files must first be converted into a document format that D2L will recognize. 

Publisher Software: Please contact Donna at x3439.

Respondus

Respondus is a program that can convert files for use in D2L. Before converting questions from a test bank file with Respondus, place them in a document with the correct formatting.  The document must be saved as an .rtf or .txt file type.

Respondus has excellent resources on their website:
