We work a lot with test banks in ExamView when building courses. We need a quick way to convert those to Storyline Quiz import files. So we are getting ready to start work on a utility to convert Blackboard 6.0-7.0 quiz export files (zip format) to Storyline CSV import files.
Before we start I was wondering if anyone anyone else has found a utility to convert Blackboard quiz files (or any other lms quiz files) to a Storyline import file? I have not been able to find one myselft.
I'm not familiar with Blackboard's export files, but you can import questions into Articulate Storyline to save development time as explained here. Hopefully someone in the community will be able to chime in and assist if they have experience with this.
I have been creating the Storyline import files following the method outlined in the article "Importing Questions" that you both linked to in your response. However, that requires me to edit/reformat the export file from ExamView to get it into Storyline Quiz import format. That is time consuming if you have a large number of quizzes to convert. We're going to create a program to do that in order to save time and eliminate the possibility of introducing an error in the process. I don't want to do that if it already exisits.
Its easier to make visually attractive/engaging quizzes in Storyline than an LMS. That's why we're doing it.

Hi Edward,
I haven't heard of one - but you will want to review the information here on how to import quiz questions into Storyline.

I understand Edward. If someone in the community has done so, hopefully they will chime in and assist you here.
Hi Edward, a client of ours is providing source content as ExamView BNK files. I came across this discussion and am curious if you found a solution.
