[Using Sakai] Migratin from Moodle to Sakai [Scanned]

Wed Nov 18 06:32:29 PST 2009

Currently Tests and Quizes will not accept a Respondus export. The Sakai QTI parsing is only written to understand QTI produced by Sakai. However I can give you a JSP that will load any Respondus test into Sakai, including computed numerical questions. I have versions for Sakai 2.5.1 and 2.6 (and probably earlier versions).

If you attempted to import questions into Sakai using Test and Quizzes and the import failed, what was the error encountered and is there a stack trace you can send us?  If you were able to export tests out of Moodle using Respondus, can you send us a sample test?   It is difficult if not impossible for people in the Sakai Community to offer advice or solutions without knowledge of the specific context in which you are attempting to operate.
