Export questions
From MoodleDocs
Questions may be exported from the Quiz module and the Question bank in any one of 3 formats:
In addition, questions may be exported into Word format using a contributed plugin, Word table format. These can then be easily used to create paper tests.
Process
- Click Settings>Quiz Administration>Question bank>Export.
- Select the output type required for the exported file.
- Use the pulldown menu to select the question category you want to export
- Check if you want the category name to be exported and/or the context to be included. This only applies to some formats and is used to restore this information on import.
- Click on the export questions to file button
- You are invited to download the file to your computer.
Example uses of exported files
- GIFT and Moodle XML formats can be imported into the Lesson module And Question bank via an import question process.
