Hi, everyone. So today, we're going to look at responds to get questions and categories out of quizzes. This is a fix for the question bank or our workaround to fix the question bank. So to be able to do this, you have to have responders four point oh, the campus version. This is something that you're going to have to ask IT to probably download on your computer for you and help set up. So once you have responds, it's pretty simple to use. So I'm going to demo a chemistry course, and we can go in, look at the question bank and check the category. And you see all of the categories. You see pages and pages of questions. This is just the moodle bug at the moment that they are working on fixing. So we have this shell course that I have been importing in using responds. And you can see that I've already moved some of the quizzes over, and there's only two pages. So to get questions out of a course, so I'm moving from a fall 2023 course into a fall 2024 course. So I'm going to click Respondus and I'm going to select retrieval. I'm going to retrieve the questions. I already have this setup, and you'll see this typically every time. Choose a course to retrieve from, so you have to be enrolled in the course to be able to access and retrieve from it. So this is a fall 202-03-1501 course. So you can select any of the quizzes that you have. So this means quizzes that are already made for student use. You can select any quiz and move it over, or you can move a question category over. So we're just going to select a category to move over. It's going to ask you to give it a file name, select next. It takes it a second. And it will show you if a media file cannot be downloaded. That means you just need to go and check that question for whatever issue it was. For example, when you're importing, the media file can be corrupted. It may just need to be updated. So once we click finish, we have retrieved the questions. We're going to go to preview and publish. We're going to select publish publish Wizard. For this, you will see this every time, but you can publish this to a single course, or if you have multiple of the same courses, you can import it to multiple courses. Select next. Choose the course I want to import it to. I'm going to go to Chemistry 151. This the fall edition. I can either create a new category or use an existing category. And because I'm taking a question bank instead of a quiz, I do not want to create a quiz section. So I'm just going to uncheck that. But if I was importing just a quiz, then I would want it to create the quiz. And now you see that it's completely updated. We're going to go into the course just to make sure that it's there. And this was blank before, but it's definitely there now. We're going to do the same example with a quiz. We're going to take a random quiz from week four. So go back into Responders retrieval, retrieve questions. Next. We want to retrieve it from the chemistry course. And we're selecting the quiz. So we're going to click Chapter four quiz, and we're going to name it. You can provide the exact same name. It's telling questions were successfully imported. There may be an issue with one of the questions. So I just need to go in and double check that. Click Preview and publish, publish. And I'm just going to one single course. Put it in the Import course or the Fall 2024 course. Now, it's creating the quiz for me, which is what I want. I have to click a selection for where the quiz can go. So I'm just going to put it under Topic 15 for now so we can see it. So now we're going to go back into the course. Topic 15. It says Chapter four quiz. We can go through and preview it. We can look and make sure it did take that one question completely out because it was a corrupted file. But all the other questions are here. When it imports, you will have to go back in and change the settings for your quiz. It did not keep the settings to import from Responde. So you'll have to go in and set up everything again for the quiz. But this is a fix for the question bank. If you feel like your question to make is overloaded with questions, you can go in and get material out of a course versus importing the question bank over. You import the question bank from an older course, it typically doubles every time it's imported. However, if you start off with a new course shell, recreate your question bank, like we have done, then once you import this, it will no longer duplicate. So that's about it for Responders. Please let me know if you have any questions.
