Hi @112610122153523,

I have tried to duplicate this as best as I can because I did not already have a QTI file around. With that said, I have:

exported a course and its quizzes as a QTI file ( How do I export quiz content from a course? - Instructure Community - 826 )
imported the QTI file ( How do I import quizzes from QTI packages? - Instructure Community - 1046 )
quizzes were created and visible in the "Quizzes" area
question banks were created and visible in the "Manage Question Banks" area

Have you tried any other QTI files? Does the problem still happen?

How was the "Canvas_QTI_Package.zip" file created? Was it an export from another Canvas course?

Hello @112610122153523 and welcome to the Community. I'm going to make a BIG assumption here! I'm assuming that you have New Quizzes. This is important because the terminology between Classic Quizzes (the quizzing engine that Canvas has had since its beginning) and New Quizzes (the engine that is in the process of replacing Classic Quiz) is different. Classic Quizzes uses the terminology "Question Banks" and New Quizzes use the terminology "Item Banks". This link, https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-import-a-quiz-from-a-QTI-package-in-New-Quizzes/ta-p/880, should help you import your QTI file into New Quizzes. Please make sure that it is an updated QTI file.

Hello, I am experiencing the same issue and I'm not sure what's going on. I'm still using Classic Quizzes and was able to export an exam, imported it as a QTI file, but it does not show up in the question banks. I'm so stumped

I haven't imported a QB into this specific course, but I did import several QTI files (publisher's test bank) for a different course at the start of the semester with no issues (using the same process).

Overlapping Scroll Bars
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
IB MYP reporting for assignments and Grade book
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
A small pre-submission habit that’s helped with written assignments in Canvas
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…

Request for New Quizzes - Show Question-Level Feedback without Manual Grading
