WebCT Faculty Tip Sheets


Exporting & Saving Quizzes, Surveys, & Question Database

ALL quizzes, surveys, and questions in a course's question database can be compiled into a single compressed (.zip) file through the export feature in WebCT. This .zip file can then be imported into another WebCT course.

To export the quizzes & question database from your course:

  1. Click on Control Panel.
  2. Under Manage Course, click on Export Content.
  3. Choose the type of content to export. For your quizzes or surveys, select the radio button next to Quizzes, Surveys and Question Database.

  4. Set destination folder to My-Files

  5. Click Continue.
    A confirmation report will be generated. This may trigger some errors related to xml file lists. You can ignore these errors for now. At the end of the report, you will find the file name (with the file extension .zip). The file name of the exported content module will contain the following information: 1) Course name, 2) QIZ =Quizzes, Surveys & Question Database, 3) Date and time of export.

    If you plan on downloading and importing this content module into another course, you will want to make note of the file name.

Downloading the exported content module to your computer:

  1. Go to Control Panel
  2. Click on Manage Files
  3. Select the .zip file containing 'QIZ' in the title.
  4. Click the Download button from the right.
  5. Choose a location on your computer to save the file to.
  6. Click Save.

Please delete the .zip file from your WebCT's My Files area once it's been downloaded to your computer.

Instructions for importing your quizzes into a WebCT Campus Edition course can be found here.
