Respondus & Canvas: Exporting/Importing Quizzes

Respondus is a powerful tool for creating and managing exams (quizzes) that can be printed to paper or published directly to Canvas. Exams can be created offline using MS Word, WordPad, NotePad, and other word processing software. The goal of Respondus is to save you time developing, formatting, and uploading your online testing projects.

Respondus allows you to import multiple choice, true-false, essay, fill in the blank, matching and multiple answer questions from a file. The questions must be organized in a format that is acceptable to Respondus and the file must be stored in one of the following formats: plain text (.txt), rich-text (.rtf), MS Word (.doc and .docx), tab/comma delimited (.csv) format, StudyMate Class format (.zip and .xml). 

The following video provides step-by-step instruction on how to develop a quiz in Respondus.
