How to download the LMS Test Bank Files
Navigate to catalog.flatworldknowledge.com and log into your account.
Click on Adopted Books to open your dashboard.
Click the Supplements button for the desired book.
On the Supplements page, scroll down to the section titled 'Test Bank Files for Import to Learning Management Systems' and download the BlackBoard .zip file. It will be denoted by "BB" or "BlackBoard" in the file name.
Example:
Unzipping the BlackBoard File
Locate the downloaded BlackBoard .zip file on your computer.
Double click the file to unzip/expand the file. Doing so will result in a folder named after the downloaded file. Open this folder to find a folder titled Question Sets.
In this Question Sets folder, the Test Bank questions will be divided further into other .zip files labeled by Chapter or Chapter/Section, depending on which book you are using. These are the files that will be uploaded into Moodle.
While Moodle supports other file types we offer, the Blackboard format provides the cleanest upload.
Importing the Test Bank into Moodle
In Moodle, navigate to the desired course. Click on the Blue Gear Icon located in the top right of the page. Click on the 'More' option. If your menu shows the Question Bank section, select the Import option under it and skip to the 'Import Questions from File' step.
