Has anyone had luck importing an r/exams QTI into Canvas "New Quizzes", or is an update forthcoming that would enable this? I saw this thread, Is exams2canvas compatible with Canvas New Quiz format?, but haven't found any updates since. Classic quizzes are scheduled to be deprecated this coming summer 2022. I am able to "import" the qti21 format (in that it doesn't throw an error), but the image files are all missing and much of the math is rendered incorrectly.

  • So far the community server from Instructure _still_ does not support New Quizzes, so we still cannot test this functionality. What you can play around with in QTI 2.1 the HTML `converter` and the `base64` coding. The ollowing would correspond to the settings in `exams2canvas`: `exams2qti21(..., converter = "pandoc-mathml", base64 = FALSE)`. – Achim Zeileis Dec 28 '21 at 21:18
  • Did you try to play around with this? Does it change anything in the way images and/or mathematical equations are rendered? I just had another look at the official tutorials on how to migrate classic quizzes to new quizzes - and all of that unfortunately is not supported on Instructure's community server that we rely on for testing. – Achim Zeileis Jan 28 '22 at 03:25
  • Sorry I had to ditch new quizzes due to this issue so have been using classic for now, and have been swamped with the current semester! I just tried with these settings, and the base64 = FALSE gives errors (not very helpful ones), and won't load at all. Specifying pandoc-mathml doesn't throw an error, but after it "imports" there are no questions in the quiz. – eiseleab Feb 03 '22 at 17:54
  • Thanks for trying and reporting the results! We will have to have a closer look when we finally get access to a new quizzes Canvas somewhere... Thanks! – Achim Zeileis Feb 04 '22 at 02:10
  • I could invite you to my "practice" course if that would help, just let me know. I will send you an email at the general info contact account on the r/exams page, but let me know if there is a better way to get in touch. – eiseleab Feb 07 '22 at 15:22
