Using Respondus to Create Quizzes for Canvas

  4. Quizzes created or uploaded into Respondus can also be exported as QTI files and then those files can be imported into a Canvas course. This is another way to get Respondus files into your course if you are having problems with the Publish to Canvas part of Respondus. Here is the link to the documentation:
