Extract slides from question bank

Mar 06, 2013

Hi Heroes,

I've imported some Quizmaker slides into Storyline and want them to appear as individual slides. No matter how I import them, Storyline creates a question bank. How do I get the slides OUT of the question bank and into a scene?

Thanks,

Hi Diane,

I apologize if I'm not understanding this correctly, but it sounds like you've imported Quizmaker questions and they're not showing up in slides. Is that right?

If you're creating a brand new course and wanting to import these files, you should be able to select "Import Quizmaker" on the Storyline splash screen. After doing so, you'll have the option to insert the questions into a new scene.

If you're importing questions into an existing course, it should be pretty similar. To import into an existing course, click on the Articulate "A" menu in the top left-hand corner of the window. Then, click on "Import" and "Quizmaker". After selecting the file, you'll see a similar prompt that will allow you to insert the questions into a scene. 

If neither of these methods works for you, you should be able to insert questions in the question bank into a scene by using the "Question Banks" menu in the "Scenes" section while in Story view. Select "New Draw from Question Bank...". After doing so, you'll be able to select the questions you'd like to insert into a scene.

If you're still unable to get this working, or if you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks!

Thanks Christine,

I had no trouble importing the questions from Quizmaker into Storyline. Where I had trouble was extracting the slides from the Question Bank so they could be viewed as separate slides. My solution was to open the question bank, double-click one question to open them all, and copy them one-by-one into a new scene. Very time-consuming and not at all efficient.

It would be much easier if I could click a button and release the slides from the bank into a scene.

Hi Diane --

You can copy and paste the questions from the bank into your story.

1. Open the question bank

2. Holding down the shift, select the slides you would like to copy

3. Right click and copy or cntrl c  each questions you would like to insert as an individual slide

4. from the Story View, paste your slides in the scene you would like them to appear.

hope this helps --

Hi Eoghan! 

The copy does not work for me either, but if you modify #3 above and select all questions you want, right click to duplicate (which seems to copy/duplicate at the same time), then go to Story View and paste, then just delete the duplicates from your Question Bank (which you can select multiples at a time here too). Maybe not ideal, but still faster than individually

Thank you for replying :) 

I'm afraid I'll not be able to share the .story file but I can explain here. 

For e.g. there are total 20 questions in the assessment i.e. 4 questions in 5 question banks. While reviewing them on  Review 360, we can see all 20 questions and an additional slide that also appears which is a blank slide with 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons at the bottom and 'Exit' on the top right hand corner. Now, there's no extra slide in any of the question banks but it still appears. Please advice what can be done as it isn't there in any of the question banks.
