Migrating Information and Instructions

*Important: It is important to note there is a different process if you want the Question Banks for Classic Quizzes transitioned to Item Banks for New Quizzes. Item banks are not created automatically with the migration process and the questions on the migrated quiz are not connected to any bank. If you think you will need question banks, we recommend the Export/Import process instead.

Begin with Step 1: Create a Classic Quiz - If you have questions banks, but don’t have all the questions in a quiz (for example: maybe the questions on the quiz are in a group/set, selected randomly from a larger group of questions), you will first need to create a special quiz for the purpose of migrating and add all the questions to it.
Skip to Step 2: Migrate Classic to New - If you have existing Classic Quizzes that include all the questions

Step 1: Create a Classic Quiz

1. Go to the Quiz link in the course Navigation
2. Click the +Quiz button, select Classic Quizzes from the Choose a Quiz Engine wizard, then click the Submit.
  - Give the quiz a name.
3. Click the Question tab

- - Select the Find Questions button, locate the existing question bank.

- - Select all
  - Click the Add Questions
  - Save the Quiz
  - Repeat for all needed quizzes

Step 2: Migrate Classic to New

You will need to have existing Classic quizzes to proceed. If you don't have all the questions on a quiz, go back to Step 1 and create a Classic Quiz for each Question bank you have before proceeding.

1. Go to the Quiz link in the course Navigation on the left
2. For each quiz, to Migrate the quiz
  - Select the three dots on the right of the quiz name
  - Select Migrate from the menu
  - Wait for the migration to process
  - The migrated quiz will be at the bottom of the list of quizzes when it completes
  - The migrated quiz will include all the questions from the classic quiz
  - You can now delete the original Classic Quiz
3. Repeat all steps for each Classic Quiz
