Import requirements and limits
LearnUpon uses an import script to move your content smoothly to Question Pools.
After you move your exam questions, you can edit them from LearnUpon. See Exams: create and edit a question pool.
Within LearnUpon, you can download question pools as CSV files. See Exams: download a question pool.
The import script has some limits:
- your CSV files must follow the data file format specification
- your CSV files must include a matching Feedback column for every answer column to prevent errors during import. You can leave the fields blank, but need the column header
- you can import 3 types of question formats:
- True/False
- Pick One
- Multiple Correct
See Exams: question types overview for more info about question formats available.
Data file format specification
| Column name | Type | Description |
| Question pool | string |
Indicates the name of the Question Pool that the question belongs to. LearnUpon creates the question pool in your portal if it does not already exist. The question is added to this pool. If more than one pool with this title is found in your portal, then the import script skips the question and logs an error for review. |
