Dear Rebecca:
We (LibreTexts) harvested the Openstax ochem questions into our ADAPT homework system awhile back. We had to build new technology to handle molecule submitting, atom/bond selector, and arrow pushing that simple LMSs quizzing systems cannot handle natively. We have even more sophisticated question types planned soon.
We also created a lot of new questions from other books in my department and as part of a California grant a few years ago (I am a chemistry professor in my day job).
ADAPT instructor accounts are freely available at https://Register.libretexts.org.
Please let me know if or the greater LibreTexts team can be of assistance.
Regards,
Delmar

Hi,
I am helping an instructor looking for organic chemistry OER quiz questions for students, they need to also be accessible. For example, quizzes related to mechanism, name reactions such as condensation reactions etc.
For a textbook, the class is using Organic Chemistry tenth addition (available in OpenStax). The faculty is trying to use the question bank OpenStax provides, but the files are all .dat files that can't be opened and .png images? Ideally, it would be great if the files were in a format that could be uploaded to Blackboard Ultra, but anything at this point is helpful. (And, if anyone has insight into the correct way to use these ancillary materials, that would also be appreciated. The quiz bank we are unable to use is located in the instructor resources here: https://openstax.org/details/books/organic-chemistry?Instructor%20resources)
