TheRespondus Test Bank Network contains thousands of test banks for the leading textbooks in higher education. Instructors who use Respondus 4.0 can easily create online exams from these official publisher test banks.

Respondus 4.0 is a powerful tool for creating and managing exams that can be printed to paper or published directly to Blackboard Learn, Brightspace, Canvas, Moodle, and other learning systems. Exams can be created offline using a familiar Windows environment, or moved from one LMS to another. Exam questions can also be imported from MS Word (including embedded images).


The Respondus Test Bank Network contains thousands of publisher test banks from leading textbooks in higher education. Publisher test bank content is formatted to integrate seamlessly with the Respondus exam authoring tool, making it the fastest and easiest way to create assessments from test banks and publish them to an online course. The Respondus Test Bank Network is free of charge to Respondus 4.0 users who have adopted a participating textbook.


The test banks available through the Respondus Test Bank Network are for use with Respondus 4.0 or Respondus LE. You need to have the software installed and activated on your computer. Refer to the question, "How do I obtain the Respondus Software?" for additional information.


Over 1,000 institutions have a campus-wide license for Respondus 4.0. Check with your institution's Learning Management System Administrator or Instructional Technology Department to find out if your institution has a license. You can also ask us by emailing [email protected].


No, there is no additional cost for the test bank, as long as you are an instructor who meets the adoption criteria of the publisher and you have a licensed copy of the Respondus application. Remember, though, that the test banks are the property of the publisher. Use of this material is contingent upon adherence to the publisher's rules of use.


First, locate the textbook that you have adopted by searching for a test bank here, or from the Test Bank Network Wizard within Respondus 4.0. Once you find the textbook, select "More Information" to submit the request for the test bank. The publisher will send you a File Code and File Password via email within 1-3 days. With this information, you can register the test bank within Respondus 4.0 or Respondus LE.


If you don't receive a response from the publisher within 5 business days of making your request, email us at [email protected] and we can reach out to the publisher on your behalf. When contacting us, provide us with the name and email used in the request, along with the author, title and edition of your text.


I want to create a question bank with selected questions from 3 existing quizzes. Those quizzes' questions were not previously in a test bank, so I'd like to just go through those 3 quizzes and mark questions to export them to the new question bank. Or, I'd like to create a new question bank and go find questions in these 3 quizzes to import. There's lot of info in the user guides about moving questions between banks. Or about creating banks and then manually writing questions. But I want to create a bank and import existing questions that are in quizzes. I'm using the old quizzes, BTW.


OR I'd just like to create a new quiz and copy questions from existing quizzes; but I think the only option is to copy them from banks. Which is why I'm trying to create a bank and import questions. But if I can just skip the bank step and create a new quiz and pull from existing quizzes that'd be great.


You are correct that questions in Classic Quizzes cannot be moved from a quiz to a question bank. A workaround is to export the quizzes. There is an option on the Content Exports page to select quiz instead of the entire course, and this creates a QTI file that can then be reimported into the course. This might duplicate the quizzes but, for your purposes, also creates question banks. On the Import Content page, make sure you select QTI for the content type and then the option to create new question bank.


I have been trying to also do what the OP did and to export quizzes but Canvas does not generate QTI.zip files and, instead, downloads a folder filled with randomly named subfolders and xml files which cannot be imported into a question bank or used to create a question bank.


If so, are you immediately opening the *.zip file that downloads to your computer? If you are trying to open that file, then yes, you would see files like XML and other folders that wouldn't seem very helpful. But, that is all part of the QTI download, and there is no need to open up the *.zip file.


I tested this in my own sandbox course, and it downloaded a *.zip file as expected. Even though I could open up the *.zip file to view the files in it, and even though I could unzip the *.zip file if I really wanted to, there shouldn't be a need to do so.


I was not even seeing a zip file in the downloads. I found the fix in another thread. The issue I had was that Safari on my Mac was automatically opening the zip file and not even saving a copy of it. I followed the instructions to prevent that from happening and just downloaded the QTI.zip. I am going to try and see if I can create a question bank with that. Thanks for your help, Chris!


Okay, the export-import process will work, but it is really an awkward way to transfer questions into a new bank. Also, even though Canvas asks which question bank you want to import into, it will only import it into a question bank with the same name as the original. Did I ultimately get it to work? Yes. Was it a frustrating kludge? Definitely. I am not a happy camper.


There are several ways that this can be accomplished, but I think the easiest would be for you to ask your Canvas Admin to create a shared sandbox (empty Canvas shell) for you and the other instructor. You could then copy the question bank into that shell work on it together, and then draw items from that bank to use in quizzes in your respective courses.


I have a similar, perhaps not exactly the same, question. I don't want to share banks, I want to have a common bank from which multiple courses that I teach pull from. I teach the same course in multiple sections with staggered start dates. When I move to a new edition of the text, I spend time "cleaning" the question banks, as quizzes are taken, by removing poorly worded or overly confusing questions from the bank and giving the poor student to happened to get that question credit for it. So now in one course I have a partial set of "clean" test banks that I'd like to use in the other sections. How can I share these so that they can replace the questions banks already in the second/third course and so that I don't have to re-create the quizzes in those other sections?


In summary, is there a "master" test bank concept that I'm not aware of OR is there a way for me to replace all of the questions in a test bank so that the linkage between that bank and the quiz remains intact?


I established a set of "master" test banks in what I'm calling my "master" course, booked-marked them, and used them in quizzes in a new course. This worked very well. But when I copied that course to second instance (second section), all of the links to the bookmarked banks went away and the quiz malfunctioned for the students. Here's what I see when I edit the quiz:


Hello all. I'm new as a Canvas designer and admin at my school here in Hershey PA. To me, the question banks feature based on what I'm reading sounds very unilateral. As in, Someone can create questions at an admin level which enables teachers to then draw from those questions. But...the rub seems to be that those teachers cannot add questions to the same account. The solution from what I'm reading on here seems to be (exporting is not going to work for us as described):


2. The most realistic option: create a course called "English Department" and make all the English/Language Arts teachers, instructors in the course. No students, no grades--but teachers could create question banks by grade level>course level>unit/topic level. They could then contribute and pull.


Yes. You can have a course with only question banks and all of the teachers have access to the course. Bookmarking the question bank allows the bank to the seen in any other course the teacher belongs to as a teacher.
