Setting up assessments in Canvas Import quizzes into Canvas

You can save time by importing tests, surveys and pools from other sources into Canvas as a Quiz. This can be done as long as your questions are text based, e.g. multiple choice questions and short answer questions.

Navigate to your Canvas Course site.
Select Settings from the Course Navigation Menu.
Select Import Course Content from the sidebar.
Select the relevant file you want to import from the Content Type drop-down menu.
Upload the file you saved in the Source field.
Choose Select question bank from the Default Question bank drop-down field.
Select Import.
Check the status of your import under the Current Jobs section – it should say Completed once it has been finalised.
Create a quiz or survey via Assignments, drawing your questions from your imported question bank.
