Export for LMS

Content can be exported as a ZIP file that can then be imported into various learning management systems (LMS).

To export a question set or test for use with an LMS:

  1. Open a question set or test by dragging it to the editor pane.

  2. Choose Export from the File menu.

  3. Select the destination LMS.
    Note: Canvas, Brightspace, and Moodle are not supported platforms. You can use the following formats to import content into these LMSs; however, certain question types or functionality may not be supported in these platforms.
