Convert a test or quiz to course assessments
Overview
If your school uses Assessments, you can convert any test or quiz in Resources to an assessment by using the test/quiz conversion tool. Converting a test or quiz to an assessment creates an assessment in a specified destination.
The newly created assessment is a copy of the original test/quiz with the following information:
Instructions
Test-level settings
Question stimulus and responses
Embedded images and rich text content
Question-level settings
Text blocks
Question order

All assessment attempts are resumable and allow students to review answers before submitting.
All assessments display one question per page. If a test/quiz with page breaks is converted to an assessment, those page breaks will be removed from the assessment.
Assessments do not support language keyboards. If a test/quiz with a language keyboard is converted to an assessment, the assessment will not have a language keyboard.
Assessments do not support unlimited attempts. If a test/quiz with unlimited attempts is converted to an assessment, the assessment will be set to 20 attempts.
If a test/quiz contains a set of random questions from a question bank, those questions are not included in the converted assessment.
