[Using Sakai] Test and Quizzes [Scanned]

[Robin Smith]

The new Respondus 4.0 has a moodle personality. If you retrieve questions from a moodle server and use the print options with the ~exam with answer key~ setting you can then copy to a clipboard and upload directly in to your SAKAI course using the quick create and paste into the question box function.  Be careful to superuser in as the instructor if you are creating a test pool and be sure to use the course title in the beginning of the test pool name because the test pools follow you around from course to course. If you are the admin when you do this you will see the test pools in every course.

Calvin--you should be able to export your Moodle questions in a QTI format (v. 2) and then import them into Sakai.  Karen and Lydia should be able to provide you with more details.

Cheers,

Anthony

Hi Calvin,
It sounds as if you want students to respond with specific words or phrases. Even though you are asking about using a list of values to do that, you can accomplish a similar thing with the multiple choice or the fill-in-the-blank question types - probably much simpler.

We had success migrating questions using a combination of Respondus and the Georgia Tech migration tool (the process is referred to on Univ of Delaware's Sakai migrataion site). I don't know if it would work for Moodle, but worked well for WebCT and Blackboard, so it would be worth a try. The matching questions required tweaking, but it saved a tremendous amount of time.  Some faculty had questions in a home-grown test tool & we used a text editor to get it in the correct format for QuickCreate. Again, it didn't take us 100% of the way there, but saved a great deal of time.

Josh.

Thanks for your reply I'm humbled honestly.

What I mean about embedded questions I  basically mean that,You find in one question a short answer question where student can type in an answer  and they can choose a correct answer form a variety of choices using a drop down text box(For example when you fill in an application on-line you have to choose your year of  birth from a list of number of years available to choose from.

Kind Regards,

Calvin Mutsileng.

Calvin,

I'll do my best to try and provide some initial answers but may need more information because I can really help.

When you say "embedded" questions, could you clarify what you mean?

In terms of drop down menus, I don't know of a why of doing that using the current question format types that are supported.   Or are you asking if you can have drop down menu for other things in Test & Quizzes (e.g. configuration settings?)?.

Sakai supports the IMS QTI open standard for test questions.  I'm not sure if Moodle supports this same standard but if it does then you should be able to find a way to export them from Moodle in this standard and then import them into Sakai.  Another option would be to look at a software package like Respondus which might help with some of the conversion.

FYI, Josh

Hy there,

1.How do I include embedded questions in Sakai?
2.How do you include a drop-down menu in Sakai for Test and Quizzes
3.How do you import questions from Moodle to Sakai. For example if you have 900 questions in questions banks in Moodle and you want to Migrate the questions from moodle to Sakai how do you do that because it is taking me a lot and lot of time but please consider my question  number 2 for this answer?


Kind Regards,
