Cardinal Quiz Converter: Overview

The Cardinal Quiz Converter is a custom University of the Incarnate Word app that creates Canvas quizzes from formatted documents. It allows you to write quiz questions in a document and convert them into Canvas-ready quizzes without entering questions one at a time. With precise formatting, this tool provides a faster and more efficient way to build quizzes in Canvas.

This tool offers two different experiences:

The Web option creates a QTI file that you download and then upload into your Canvas course.
The native Canvas integration creates and imports the quiz directly into your course, eliminating the need to download or manually upload a file.

Cardinal Quiz Converter Availability

Website

The web version of the Cardinal Quiz Converter is available to anyone for creating QTI files. Users with quiz-editing permissions in Canvas—such as Teachers and TAs—can import the QTI file to create a quiz.

Canvas Integration

At UIW, the tool is also available as a native Canvas integration. It appears in the More (three vertical dots) menu on any Quizzes page and is visible only to Teachers and teacher-like roles with permission to create and edit quizzes in a Canvas course.

Cardinal Quiz Converter Considerations

Precise formatting of the file is required, so templates are provided to edit conveniently.
If the website is used, you must import the QTI into a Canvas course separately.
If the Canvas integration is used, you have the option to import the quiz directly into your course.
Accepted file types for conversion include TXT, MD, DOCX, and CSV
CSV files have some limitations; not all question types and features are fully supported.
