Steps to Import Question Bank/Exam Files into Canvas for Copyright 2021 and Older

Both System Administrators and Instructors have the permissions to import question bank/exam files into Canvas once they have activated their subscription. There are two parts to this step: Download Question Banks from the Online Instructor Resources and Upload Question Banks into Canvas.

Download Question Bank/Exam Files from the Online Instructor Resources

Under the Resources Module, select Online Instructor Resources.
The Online Instructor Resources will appear. Scroll down and select the Assessment Software & Question Pools section.

Note: The Online Instructor Resources will look different than the screen capture above if your copyright is 2023 or newer.

Extract the ZIP Folder(s)

Right click on the ZIP folder downloaded from the Online Instructor Resources and select Extract All. Select a location for the extracted files.
If the extracted files look similar to the screen capture below in which there is one zip folder for each chapter, then you will need to upload each question bank file one chapter at a time.
Do not extract each chapter zip folder. You will upload each chapter zip folder into your Canvas course.

Upload the Question Bank/Exam Files into Canvas

Back in Canvas, select course Settings.
Select Import Course Content.
Next to Content Type select QTI .zip file.
Select Choose File and select the Chapter 01 ZIP folder extracted from the downloaded ZIP folder. (For example, import AutoB2021_ch01_exam_qti.zip NOT resources_exam_qti.zip) Then select Import.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all chapter ZIP folders have been uploaded.

Where Can I Find the Quizzes I Imported?

Once all Question Bank/Exam Files have been uploaded, select Quizzes from the course navigation.
The Question Banks will display one chapter at a time in the Quizzes section.
