How do I use the Respondus Canvas Personality to upload a quiz directly to my course?

You will learn how to use the Respondus Canvas Personality to upload your Respondus test bank or quiz to your course in Canvas (this guide is for uploading to a single course).

This procedure will create a quiz in your course in Canvas. You can select a Classic Quiz or a New Quizzes quiz when you upload.

Once an quiz is created in Respondus, the Preview + Publish menu lets you determine what to do with the file. When the questions are ready to be uploaded, the Publish task connects Respondus to our Canvas server and transfers the quiz to the course that you select.
