Steps to Import Question Bank/Exam Files into Schoology

Both System Administrators and Instructors have the permissions to import question bank/exam files into Schoology once they have activated their subscription. There are two parts to this step: Download Question Banks from the Online Instructor Resources and Upload those Question Banks into Schoology Resources or a Schoology Group for instructors to add into their course.

Part 1: Download Question Bank/Exam Files from the Online Instructor Resources

1. From within your course, expand the Resources folder and select Online Instructor Resources.
   
    
2. 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 captures below if your copyright edition is prior to 2023.
   
    
3. Expand the Blackboard Learn 9.x section and select the name of the question type zip folder to download (i.e. Exam Questions, Pretest Questions, Posttest Questions, etc.).
   
    
4. Once the file is downloaded, extract the files from the ZIP folder.
   
5. After files are extracted, there will be one ZIP folder for each chapter. Do not extract each chapter folder – leave those zipped.
   

Part 2: Upload the Question Bank/Exam Files into Schoology

1. Back in Schoology, select the Resources tab.
   
    
2.  On the left-hand side of your screen, make sure Personal has been selected. Then select the drop-down arrow and select Import.
   
    
3. Select Blackboard (ZIP), Existing collection (or create a new collection for Question Bank/Exam Files), select the existing collection, create a new folder, and then select the Next button.
   
    
4. Click on Attach File to find and upload the ZIP folder for the Chapter 1 ZIP folder saved from the Online Instructor Resources (OIR). Once the upload is Complete, select Import.
   
    
5. Your zip folder will now begin uploading. Repeat this process until all desired chapter folders and Question Banks have been imported.
    
6. Once the zip folders are uploaded you will be able to find the Question Bank/Exam Files within the collection.
