Copy a test from one Sakai site to another

How do I copy a test (or quiz) from one Sakai site to another?

Note: You must have the instructor role in both Sakai sites (or maintain role in a project site). To check your role, in each course, click on the Roster. You'll see your name, userid and your role.

An easy way to copy a test from one Sakai site to another is to export it from one course and import it into the other. To do this:

1. In Sakai, at top, click on Sites; click on the Sakai site that contains the test you want to copy.
2. On the course menu, click on Tests & Quizzes.
   • Click the Actions drop-down beside the DRAFT version of the test you want to copy; click EXPORT.
     • Choose export type: Content Packaging
     • Click EXPORT to save the exported test file to your local computer. Be sure to note the name of the exported file (it is often titled "exportAssessment.zip")and note the location where you are saving the file.
3. At top, click on Sites; click on the Sakai site where you want to copy/import the test.
4. On the course menu, click on Tests & Quizzes. At top, click on the Add tab; then click on IMPORT (in the area to the right of the "Create from Scratch" section).
   1. Click Browse or Choose to locate and select the file that you exported above.
      • Usually, you should use the default choice "Export from this (or other Sakai) system"
   2. Click IMPORT. After a few seconds of processing, the test will appear as a Draft.
