Instructors 

To enhance interoperability and streamline assessment creation, we now support importing questions from QTI packages into banks. Instructors and instructional designers often use different tools to create assessments, and ensuring a smooth transfer of questions between platforms is critical. With this update, users can import QTI v2.1 formatted questions into banks efficiently, maintaining compatibility with industry standards.

Questions that are supported include:

  • True/False
  • Multiple Choice
  • Multiple Answer
  • Fill-in-the-blank
  • Essay

During the import process, users will receive notifications indicating the upload progress, success, or failure. If any individual questions cannot be converted due to unsupported types or behaviors, the system will provide clear feedback, ensuring instructors are informed of limitations.

This improvement allows institutions to leverage QTI-based assessment content more effectively, making course transitions and content management more seamless.
