Upload an IMS QTI File for Import

This page is used to transfer a file containing questions in IMS QTI format from the local file system of your computer to the server where the questions will be unpacked and added to this questionnaire. Please read the instructions and warnings below before you use this page to upload a file.

Instructions

• Make certain that the file you want to upload is not open in another window.
• Press the browse button.
• In the dialog box that appears use the appropriate control to view files of all types.
• Use the dialog box to select the file you want to upload and then press the OK button. (The file name should appear in the box next to the Browse button on this page.)
• Select the "Send Now" button.
• If you see an error message seek help.

Notes

• The questions in the import file will be appended to the questionnaire - questions that are already in the quesitonnaire will not be overwritten or deleted.
• If the QTI file contains any kind of marking scheme for the questions this will be ignored because this is a questionnaire and doesn't include any kind of assessment.
• The QTI format allows for questions with many different user interface types. Elements such as image hotspot, numerical answer etc. will be ignored and will result in "empty" questions that consist only of the introductory text.
• Multiple choice questions that don't conform to the format allowed in this questionnaire will be ignored. E.g. there can be only one group of choices having 1 to 10 options.
• Attributes in the QTI file for fine tuning the appearance of the question will be ignored.
