IMS-QTI

You can upload an XML (IMS-QTI) compatible file by browsing for it using the "Select" button. Using the "Question Mapping" section, you can map the imported questions to a specific program/course/lesson and/or a specific learning indicator.

Import Questions

You can import an XML file of a certain question type or you can import a ".zip" file containing multiple XML files and a folder containing images in case the question requires an image (e.g. Hotspot, Drag & Drop). The acceptable format of the XML file(s) is IMS-QTI v.2.0 and higher. Once you upload the question(s), you can see the following columns:

•File Name shows you the name of the XML file(s) that you have uploaded

•Question Title is where you can view and edit the title of the question

•Original Type is the type of question that is in the XML format.

Mapped Type is where you can see the corresponding XML original type to the SwiftAssess Question Type. If the question type from XML is not supported on SwiftAssess, you will get a display in the Mapped Type column. Some of the mappings are given in the table below.
