[DG: Teaching & Learning] Importing IMS QTI 1.2 test bank

[Ward, Lynn E.]

Have you tried unzipping the file and importing resulting xml file.  I don’t believe that the Question Pool import in Sakai accepts IMS content packages.  Alternatively, you can try importing the zip file as an assessment and then using the Copy to Pool option to copy the questions in each part to an existing question pool.

Subject: [DG: Teaching & Learning] Importing IMS QTI 1.2 test bank

I am trying to import test banks into our Sakai LMS that are created in Wimba Diploma 6.72 and getting an error message.
" There was an error importing this assessment. Ensure that the file is correctly formatted IMS QTI "

I have checked with Wimba Diploma and the file is a standard IMS QTI formatted zip file.
I also realize that the import request is for a file that is an "Export from this (or other Sakai) system". Wimba Diploma is not a Sakai system. Though, I have researched IMS QTI and there are standards for that file.
I have also tried to import the test bank as an archive file and get the same message. ITS here at NYU have not found any way to work around this problem and I have 69 test banks to import. I really do not wish to type them all.
Can anyone recommend a solution or help?
Shirley
