The Settings menu displays the exam settings available for the course management system (CMS) that was selected on the Start menu (Desire2Learn). However, we recommend that you import your question bank into the Question Library in D2L and then create your quiz and set  your quiz properties, because all settings may not import correctly.

How do I get my Respondus 4.0 file into eLearning?

...

Note:

There are numerous sets of Respondus 4.0 instructions "floating" around on the Internet and elsewhere.

Some of these instructions would have you believe that you can use Respondus 4.0 to publish your exam or test bank directly into your course in eLearning.

You can not.

The following instructions will walk you through the process of creating a file that you can import into your course in eLearning.

On your desktop you should now see the Respondus icon: Image Added , select it. This will open Respondus 4.0.

Select the Open or Create tab in the left column. Then, select the Import Questions icon.

Select the "Type of file:" In this case it should be a Word file (.doc, .docx, or possibly .txt).

1. Use the Browse button to find your question file.
2. In step 2, select "Create a new document, named" (give it a simple, short, but meaningful name (i.e., quiz-1)).
3. You must select the "Preview" button.
   1. Don't worry about the questions at this point.
   2. If needed, you can easily edit them later in Respondus 4.0.
4. Now, select "Finish."
   1. "File Saved" select OK.
5. Now, select the "Preview & Publish" tab.
   1. ATC recommends selecting the "Preview the File" tab.
   2. This will allow you to review each question.
   3. If the question is good, move to the next question with the "Next >>" button.
   4. If the question needs modification, select "Modify Item," and make the necessary changes.
      1. Then select "Save Changes," and move to the next question.
   5. HINT:
      1. Generally, (if you have a lot of questions)
      2. If you properly formatted your questions (if you didn't you wouldn't have gotten this far).
      3. And, the first few questions look good, they're probably all good.
      4. Move on!
   6. Close the "Preview" window.
      
      
6. Now, Select the "Preview & Publish" tab, and then select the "Publish" option in the left column.
   1. Select the "Publish Wizard" button. 
      The rest is very important!
   2. Type of Publish:
      1. Select: Export QTI XML for manual upload to Desire2Learn.
      2. Select the "Next" tab.
      3. Assessment type: Select "Question Library Section";
      4. Select "Save As"
         1. The file name is there (i.e., quiz-1); just ensure that you save the file to a place where you can find it later!
         2. Select "Save"
         3. Select "OK"
      5. Select "Finish"
         
         
7. You're almost done!
   1. Close the Respondus 4.0 program.
   2. Find the file you created (it's actually a "zipped" folder).
      1. It should be where you saved it, AND it is a Zip file (i.e., quiz-1.zip).
      2. ALSO, right next to the Zip file is a text file with the same name (i.e., quiz-1.txt).
      3. Open and print the text file.
   3. Follow the instructions in the text file exactly as written.
      
      
8. All of your questions are now in the question library of your course.
9. Now you can create your quizzes by importing your questions from the question library!
