03 Create or Import Content
Using the ONYX Editor, you can create questions, tests, or surveys. For ease of management, you can also organise your content into folders. All content visible to you will be listed in the Test resources tab, where you can also create new content.
Create content
- Go to the Test resources tab.
- Click on New folder, New test, New question, or New survey in the upper part of the page.
- Assign a title, select a question type (only for questions), and confirm the dialogue with OK. The content will then open in a new tab.
Import content
You can import existing test and question data to the ONYX Testsuite.
The question formats supported are IMS QTI 2.1 (ONYX), 2.0 and various IMS QTI 1.2 variants (including OLAT, Blackboard, WebCT). In addition, you can also import question content that is available as a CSV file or questions from other directly linked ONYX repositories.
Start the import for all three variants as follows:
1 | Open the Test resources tab. Then click on Import content in the upper part of the page. |
|
2 | This will open the Import content dialogue. Here you can choose whether to upload resources from your hard disk or import resources from another repository. |
|
Upload resources from your hard disk
This function allows you to import tests, surveys, and questions that are available in the file formats .zip, .xml, or .csv.
For instructions on how to prepare a CSV table, see the section Import questions via CSV file.
1 | Click on Browse to select the desired file on your computer. |
|
2 | Then click on Upload to start the import. If the import was successful, a success message will be displayed. If problems occur during the import, you will also receive a corresponding notification. |
|
3 | To import another resource, use the Browse button again and repeat the steps. | |
4 | Once all the desired imports have been completed, close the dialogue by clicking on the Close X button in the top right corner. | |
5 | The dialogue is closed, and the added resources will become visible in the summary table. |
|
Import resources from another repository
If you use multiple repositories in the ONYX Editor, you can also import content from another repository to your current one.
1 | Under Select repo, you can select the repository from which you wish to import content. |
|
2 | Below, you will then see the structure of the selected repository, which allows you to select multiple resources at once. You will also be provided with an overview of the metadata of the selected resources. | |
3 | Use Import to add the resources to your repository. |
1 | Download the file template. Open the file on your device and fill it with your question content. Use the example entries as a guide and save your changes. |
|
2 | Switch to the ONYX question bank. Then click on Import content in the upper part of the page. |
|
3 | This will open the Upload resources from hard disk area, and you can select the saved CSV file by clicking on Browse. |
|
4 | Click on Upload. After, the file will be checked, and the questions contained in it will be created. If the import was successful, a success message will be displayed. If problems occur during the import, you will receive a corresponding notification. |
|
5 | Once all the desired imports have been completed, close the dialogue by clicking on the Close X button in the top right corner. |
|
