Special Instructions for Tests and Quizzes

If you are an instructor who uses Tests & Quizzes, those assessments can be pulled into Canvas.  If the source of your assessment was from textbook resources from a publisher, though, you might consider accessing the publisher’s website since they may have a resource that can be imported into Canvas.

Also note that only DRAFT Tests & Quizzes will migrate.  Some instructors routinely delete their drafts because they felt they weren’t needed any more; unfortunately, k16solutions cannot migrate PUBLISHED assessments.  If this applies to you:

• Go into your Sakai course 
• Go to Tests & Quizzes 
• Click on the “Trash” tab 
• Find a deleted Draft that you wish to restore 
• Check its checkbox 
• Click Restore 

This will put the draft back into your Assessment list and allow it to be migrated. 

Special instructions regarding Question Pools: 

If you use Question Pools to build assessments there is an issue migrating them to Canvas.  A question pool’s items can only migrate if they are part of an assessment, so some items may not migrate if they aren’t included in a draft assessment.  The solution for this is relatively straightforward: 

• Go into a Sakai course 
• For every Question Pool you have, build a NEW assessment 
• In that assessment copy EVERY question from the Question Pool into it 
• Nominate that site for migration 

This way, every Question Pool that you have will migrate to Canvas as a Quiz; then you can use that quiz to build a new Question Bank in Canvas.
