Oncourse is retired. For details, see ARCHIVED: About the Oncourse retirement.
Note:
Oncourse data is no longer available for migration, but if you exported content out of Oncourse using the Canvas Migration tool before September 1, 2017, you can still finish the process of reviewing and revising your course materials within Canvas. See ARCHIVED: Review and revise migrated courses in Canvas.
When you use the Canvas Migration tool to move Tests & Surveys assessments from Oncourse to Canvas, your question pools will only migrate if the pools are used in at least one random draw part of a quiz being migrated. The easiest way to migrate pools you wish to transfer is to create a quiz with a separate random draw part for every pool or subpool in Oncourse. The random draw part only needs to include one question from the selected pool. To migrate your question pools to Canvas:
- Create a quiz in your Oncourse site.
- On the "Questions" page, click
- On the "Add/Edit Part" page, update the "Title" field with the pool name, or with whatever you'd like the question bank to be called in Canvas:
- Under "Type", select
- Select the pool or subpool from which you wish to draw questions. If you want the questions from a subpool, you must select that subpool. Selecting only a top-level pool will not include the questions in the subpool.
- Click to save your selection and return to the "Add/Edit Part" page.
- Next to "Number of questions", enter
1
. - For "Point value of questions", enter any point value.
- Click to save the revised part settings and return to the "Questions" page of the current quiz.
- To add another pool, click
- After you have added all desired pools to the quiz, migrate the site to Canvas; for instructions, see ARCHIVED: Using the Canvas Migration tool.
- Once your site has finished migrating, enter the migrated site in Canvas and open the Quizzes tool. The quiz you created will be listed.
- To access your question banks to make sure all your questions migrated correctly, click the gear icon, and then select
- Open each question bank to confirm that all of the questions from the corresponding pool in Oncourse are present and free of errors.
