Importing Quizzes and Question Banks to BS from Moodle

Purpose

In this article, we will outline how to export your quizzes and question banks from Moodle and import them into your module on Brightspace.

⚠️ Important

You must check your quizzes and questions after you import them into Brightspace to ensure all content has transferred over correctly. Not all Moodle question types are supported in Brightspace, so it is important that you review all questions before publishing your quizzes. Carleton University has produced a comprehensive document outlining how question types do or do not migrate. Please review the table in this document: Quiz Question Types: Moodle to Brightspace Migration Guide

Steps

1. On Moodle, select Backup and follow the steps outlined to back up your course.

Once you are happy with everything, choose Continue.
