One Question Bank, 6 Platforms: Export to Canvas, Moodle, Kahoot & More

Why Build a Reusable Question Bank?

Teachers often use multiple platforms—Canvas for one course, Moodle for another, Kahoot for review games, Google Forms for quick checks. Re-typing the same questions for each platform wastes time and introduces errors. A single question bank in SimplTests lets you create once and export everywhere. Build your curated set of questions, save it, and export to Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Kahoot, Google Forms, or Google Slides whenever you need. One source of truth, many destinations.

1. Create Your Test Manually

Go to Create Test and enter a title (e.g., "Unit 3 Review"). Click "Add new question" and add each question by hand: choose multiple choice, true/false, or short answer, type the question and options, and mark the correct answer. No AI needed—this is your curated question bank.

2. Save Your Test

When you're done adding questions, save the test. It will appear in Saved Tests. This becomes your reusable question bank—you can export it to any supported platform whenever you need it.

3. Export to Any Platform

Open your saved test and click the Export button. You'll see options for:

• Canvas — QTI package (.zip) for Canvas quizzes
• Moodle — Moodle XML for the Question bank
• Blackboard — Tab-delimited TXT for Blackboard imports
• Kahoot — XLSX for Kahoot (multiple choice only)
• Google Forms — Creates a Google Form (requires Google account)
• Google Slides — Creates a presentation (requires Google account)

Pick the format you need, follow the export steps, and you're done. The same questions can be exported again to a different platform anytime—no re-typing.

One Test, Many Uses

Use the same question bank for a Canvas quiz this week, a Moodle exam next month, and a Kahoot review game in class. Build it once, export everywhere.

Tips and Best Practices

• Use clear titles (e.g., "Unit 3: World War II") so you can find tests quickly.
• You can mix AI-generated and manually written questions—build your bank however works best.
• Export to one platform first to verify, then try others. Each format has slight differences.
