If you have a test or survey that you used in a previous semester’s course or that you want to include in multiple sections in the same semester, you only need to create the test or survey once and you can copy it into a different course. Copying tests and surveys is not the same as copying items in the course. There are several things that you will need to do to successfully copy the test or survey.

You will first need to download the test or survey to your computer.  To do this:

  1. Enter the course that currently has the quiz or survey you want to copy.
  2. In the “Course Management” menu, click Course Tools.
    Go to course management in the menu and click course tools
  3. Click Tests, Surveys, and Pools.
    click tests surveys and pools
  4. Click Tests. (or if you are wanting to import a survey, click Surveys).
    click tests
  5. Click the grey arrow next to the test (or survey) you want to copy.
  6. Click Export to Local Computer. This will download the test to your computer as a zip file.

 

You will now need to upload the test (or survey) to the course where you want it.  To do this:

  1. Enter the course where you want the test (or survey). Note: this is not where the test is already but where you want it to be copied.
