Importing test banks into Moodle
1. Build or open a test/questions bank in Examview. **It looks like each textbook has its
own “Resource” section that is called “Download by Resource Type”. This will install the
Examview software as well as the exam test bank for that book.
2. From the File menu, choose Export, then Blackboard 7.1+. A save dialog will open.
3. Set the location where you want to save the exported file. Enter a filename and click the
save button. The question content will be saved as a .zip file.
4. Complete the two highlighted dialogs boxes with any entry. These dialog options are not
used by Moodle but are required to complete the export process for Blackboard.
5. Click OK to complete the export. The questions and any images (including equations,
which are converted to images) are compressed into a zip file.  It is possible that if
you have any images in the file they must be uploaded into Moodle and re-linked to the
question separately from uploading the question content.
6. From within your Moodle course, click on the Question Bank link located in the
Administration block.
7. If you don’t have a Category to place your imported questions, select the Categories tab
to create one.
8. Select the Import tab.
9. (1) Select Blackboard V6+ from the File Format list. (2) Select the category to import
your questions into. (3) Click on the Choose a File button and navigate to the zip file to
upload it. (4) Click the Import button.
10. A summary page of the imported questions will appear. Click the Continue button to
complete the import process.
