==Importing (Copying) One Assessment to Another Course==
As a best practice, it is recommended that you import tests & quizzes (and other course content) using '''Site Info > Import from Site''' (see handout [[Media:ImportContent.pdf | Importing Course Content [PDF]]] for details).

* If you need to import only one assessment, the method you use will depend on whether your test contains images.

====METHOD 1: If your test contains images====
* You must save the images in a public folder, follow the instructions below (otherwise, your images will not display):
** [[Media:HowtoAddImagestoyourTests.pdf|Using Images in Test Questions (PDF)]]
** Then perform STEPS 1 and 2 below.
* If you've already imported a test with images, you'll need to perform additional steps
** Contact [mailto:sakaihelp@durhamtech.edu sakaihelp@durhamtech.edu] to make sure your students can see images in your test.

====METHOD 2: If your test does NOT contain images====
* Then perform STEPS 1 and 2 below.
