Exporting Tests for Sakai

Follow these steps to create a test in TestGen and transfer it into the Sakai learning management system (LMS) as an assessment.

1.  Choose the Sakai Test Type and Create a Test

1. Select "New test" from the File menu. On the Startup screen, click Web Test. Then choose the Sakai option and click OK.

2. Create the test, whether choosing from a testbank or adding your own questions.

2.  Export the Test from TestGen as a .Zip File

1. Select "Export" from the File menu, select the Sakai option from the drop-down menu, and click OK.

2. Save the test export file as a zip file. Review the filename and destination where the .zip file will be saved. (By default, the name matches its original .TST file and the saved location is the TestGen "Tests" folder.) You can change the destination, if desired, but note that you will later need to locate the file during the import process into Sakai.

3.  Import the Test into Sakai

1. Log in on your Sakai LMs and navigate to your course.

2. Select the "Test and Quizzes" option.

3. Select "Import."

4. Click "Choose File" and locate the .zip file for the test you exported from TestGen.

5. Select "Export from this (or other Sakai) system"  (should be the default)

6. Click "Import" to import the test questions as an assessment in Sakai.
