Importing new questions

This function allows you to import questions from external text files, uploaded through a form.

A note about character encodings

If your file contains non-ascii characters then you must first convert the file to UTF-8 using your favourite editor or the exporting software (if the option is available). XML based import formats will be handled automatically provided you are running PHP 5.

A number of file formats are supported:

GIFT format

Aiken format

Missing Word

AON

Blackboard

Blackboard V6+

WebCT

Course Test Manager

Embedded answers (Cloze)

Learnwise format

Examview format

Moodle XML format

More formats are yet to come, including WebCT, IMS QTI and whatever else Moodle users can contribute!
