Do you have large question banks or individual quizzes to use within Canvas?

The Akindi Importer is an Online@UT (Canvas) assessment tool that functions on any computer’s operating system and web browser. It is helpful for faculty who wish to create large question banks and/or individual quizzes within Canvas.

How it works: Faculty can create questions in Microsoft Word and upload them to Akindi Importer. The importer will auto-detect and convert questions into a QTI file. This file can then be imported into the Canvas course as a question bank or quiz.

Supported question types include:

  • multiple-choice
  • multiple answers
  • open-ended question
  • fill-in-the-blank
  • matching
