(A2,3) Upload Question and Test Interoperability (QTI 2.1) Files

Uploading a QTI 2.1 ZIP file in SLS

  1. Ensure your QTI file is exported as QTI 2.1 version.

  2. In the Module Editor page, hover over Question in the Component Bar.

  3. Under Add From Existing, select Questions from file (QTI).

  4. Upload a QTI zip file into the Import Question subpage and click Upload. You can also import images into options using QTI.

    Note: A sample file can be found here.

  5. If the file is valid, it will be uploaded and scanned for viruses.

    Note: The virus scan will take longer if the file size is large.

  6. When the file is successfully uploaded, the QTI questions will be added to the Module. Each question in your zip folder will appear as a standalone question within the Activity.

  7. Should there be an error message indicating “processing partially unsuccessful”, you may have to manually make some edits to the question.

Considerations when creating a QTI File

When creating a QTI File for SLS, the maximum number of questions allowed in SLS is 100 questions per file. Some guidelines to uploading a QTI file include:

  1. Only QTI 2.1 files are accepted.
  2. Question requirements:
    1. Questions stem/images
    2. Answer options (if applicable)
  3. File Upload:
    1. A recognised QTI 2.1 zipped file from any QTI conversion tool (e.g. getmarked.ai ) with no more than 100 questions.

Note:

  1. Identifying the correct answers to Multiple-Choice Questions with single or multiple responses can be done within SLS after the questions have been uploaded.
  2. You may add Hints, Teacher Comments and Question Tags to questions within SLS. Tagged questions will be reflected in the Learning Progress when they have been attempted by students.

FAQs

  1. Why does the QTI file fail to be accepted by SLS after uploading?

    Ensure the version of your QTI file is QTI 2.1.

  2. Where can I read more about QTI?

    You can read about it here.

  3. I tried downloading the zip file on my Safari browser but the file was unzipped automatically.

    Go to your Safari Preference and uncheck 'Open “safe” files after downloading'. This should allow you to download the zip file without it being automatically unzipped.
