Importing these a question after doing these instructions once generally takes about 5 minutes. The first time may take up a bit more time as you follow them. Take your time and follow them carefully. If you have any questions, email me (cedwards@wcs.k12.va.us) or call me at 739-3065.

Before beginning you will need to know the unique ID number that Moodle assigns to the course to which you will be importing the questions. To find this out, simply go to course in Moodle. The address bar in your web browser will display something like http://moodle.wcs.k12.va.us/course/view.php?id=264. In this case, the unique id is, of course, 264. We need this in order to make any images display properly in the imported questions.

For the purposes of these instructions, I am saving my exported questions in My Documents. If you want to save them somewhere else, make the proper substitution for My Documents in the instructions below.

2. Select Open an existing question bank.

18. In the field marked Replace with put src="/file.php/264/Algebra1-1. 264 should be your course ID and of course, Algebra1-1 should be replaced with what you called the test earlier. NOTE: there is no closing "
