It is possible for instructors to export both assessments and question pools from ReggieNet's Tests & Quizzes tool. The process requires several steps. Once successfully exported, however, these data can then be important into Canvas for future courses.
If you need help with any of these steps, please email ProDev@ilstu.edu or call (309) 438-2542 to set up a consultation.
This set of instructions may not work in every instance, depending on your system. If you complete these instructions and the import fails, there are alternative export/import methods you can try.
You cannot directly export a question pool from ReggieNet. To export a question pool, you must first create a draft assessment that pulls the questions from the question pool you wish to save. You’ll need to follow these steps for each question pool you want to export. If you have several question pools, the instructions on mass Exporting and Importing below may be a better option.
