Export tests

When exporting tests, a distinction must be made between

• export test course (Exam course)
• export test learning resource
• export single questions
• export test results

Export course

An entire course, e.g., an exam course, can be exported as a zip file in the course administration under
Administration > Export content.

Export test learning resource

Test learning resources contain entire sets of questions and can be integrated into test course modules as question packs, including configuration (total number of points, etc.). A test learning resource can also be exported in the administration of the learning resource under
Administration > Export content

Tip

Please note whether you are in the administration of a (test) course or a (test) learning resource. You can easily tell by checking whether the option under Administration is
Course editor
or

Export as word file

Test learning resources can be exported as Word documents. Such files are often created for review purposes before a test is conducted, so that additions and corrections can be easily noted in them.

Generate hand-written exam

The Word documents created with this option under Administration > Generate hand-written exam of a test learning resource differ from a simple Word export.

Each document is given a cover sheet and a serial number so that it can be clearly assigned after the participants have completed the test by hand.

You must therefore specify a number for the Word files to be generated.

Various attributes can be selected for the cover page.

A descriptive text can also be provided.

Cover page example:

Export single questions

Questions created in OpenOlat comply with the QTI standard. This means they can also be transferred to other LMS' that use questions in the QTI standard. Conversely, OpenOlat can also import questions in QTI format.

Export to pool

If you are in the editor of a test learning resource, select the desired question and click on the icon with the 3 dots in the upper right corner to export the question to the pool.

Tip

This way, you can also export an entire section with multiple questions to the question pool. Simply select the section on the left and then click on the 3 dots.

Export single questions from the pool

If you have opened a single question in the question editor, you will find an option to export this individual question to a zip file under the "Share" icon. Since the questions in OpenOlat comply with the QTI standard, the zip file can be reimported into another OpenOlat or another LMS that also uses the QTI standard.

Export multiple selected single questions from the pool

If you have selected multiple questions from the question pool, these questions can be exported together in a Word file for offline review, in a QTI 2.1 test file for exchange with other compatible LMS, or in a zip file for exchange with other OpenOlat systems or for archiving.

Export test results

Test statistics

One way to evaluate the test results is in statistical form. To do this, use the "Test Statistics" button in the "Participants" tab. The button is available to instructors and owners when they select a "Test" course element in run mode.

• You can print out the various statistics on the test results (or "print" them to a PDF file) or download the raw data as an Excel file.
• When you expand the sections of a test, you can view detailed statistics for each individual question.

Test results of participants

The "Export results" button creates a zip file containing all test results for all participants in the selected course module.

If you have decided to create a zip file, you can specify a name for the zip file and choose one of the options offered for its contents. Two variants of a zip file can be created:

• The standard export contains detailed test results for each participant in the form of an HTML document and an Excel file with the raw data.
• The "Advanced – with PDF" option creates the same zip file, but also adds PDF files with the detailed results for each participant.

If the test contains essay questions and the "Advanced – with PDF" option was selected, the "Additional option" with the choice "Separate PDF file for each essay question" appears below. If it is activated, the answer to each essay question is additionally placed in the zip file as a separate PDF file.

Click on the "Start export" button to generate the zip file containing the test results.

Created zip files are listed in the lower section under "Export history" and are only available there for a limited period of 10 days.

Then open or unzip the created zip file to access the required files.

Note

There is also an option in the course administration to export or archive test results. For more information, see Archiving test results.
