Import questions to quiz maker

Hi Aman,

Quizmaker 13 allows for the importing of questions :

• From another quiz
• From a quiz template
• From a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
• From a text file 

Directions on how to import each type, are included in the link above. 

The import function works really well except for one issue I have found - the imported questions do not take on the layout of the Quizmaker template being used?  Is there a way around this?

I'm going to follow this, as I'm having the same issue.

Hi Jim,

It looks like Phil took care of you over here. 

Hi Aman Katoch and Staff, what you can do is to import your xml quizz using the import template here: http://articulate-tutorials.s3.amazonaws.com/quizmaker13/import-templates/Import_Template.xls

Then Open Excel, go to Data Tab, choose "From Other Sources" Option.

Follow the instructions provided in the template file to populate your spreadsheet.

Then import it into QuizMaker. It works for me. 

Thanks Jone for sharing the link to the template here. 

I tried the template for text file to import the questions into Articulate 360 Storyline but it is not working saying the format is incorrect. Can you send me the sample of txt file what the question format should look like?

Hi! Sorry to hear that you had difficulty importing your questions. Be sure that you are following the format attached in the text file. I've included a sample .story file where it successfully imported as well. Instructions here.

I too would like to import Moodle XML files into Quiz Maker.  Jone Jones posted a template link that is no longer any good.  Anyone have the new link and instructions?

I just tried importing 3 questions from a previous quiz maker quiz and the pictures did not import.  Help?

Hey Thomas!

I'm not sure Jone is still subscribed here, as this thread is a bit older. You may want to reach out directly about that template by using the "Contact Me" feature in Jone's E-Learning Heroes Profile page. 

I'm happy to help figure out what's happening with your Quiz importing! I'm sorry you're running into that. I have a couple questions to help solve this:

1. Are you following these directions for importing slides in Quizmaker?
2. Are the files you're using saved locally on your computer (C:Drive or Desktop) or are you accessing them from a shared/network drive?

Let me know! ☺️

I am all set now. Thank you for getting back to me.

Anh

Glad to hear it - thanks for popping in with an update.
