Converting Test/Quiz to Course Assessments

If your school uses Assessments, you can convert any test/quiz in Resources to an assessment by using the test/quiz conversion tool. Converting a test/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

• Rubrics (on Short Answer/Essay questions)

• Aligned learning objectives

• 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 on the converted assessment.

2. Select Convert to Assessment from the drop-down menu.

To convert more than one test/quiz to an assessment at the same time, find the tests/quizzes in Resources and perform the following steps:

1. Click the checkbox to select one or more tests/quizzes. Selecting a folder will not convert all tests/quizzes within that folder. To convert multiple tests/quizzes within a folder, open the folder and click the checkbox at the top to select all materials within the folder. Any materials selected that are not tests/quizzes will be skipped. You do not need to deselect these before converting.

4. Choose a destination collection or folder for the assessments in Resources. All tests/quizzes converted in the same operation must have the same destination.

5. Click Convert.

6. You can view progress in Transfer History.

7. When multiple tests/quizzes are converted in the same operation, you will receive an email notification when all tests/quizzes have been successfully converted to assessments.
