Description

Currently Blackboard Quiz imports are supported by two import formats that (although the files are similar) work in very different ways. This causes enormous confusion and is a constant source of support requests.

Propose to:

  • Combine the so-called V5 and V6 formats into one
  • Allow either a zip file or the internal .dat file to be handled transparently
  • Handle multiple .dat files within a zip file
  • Detect if the .dat file contains a POOL type xml structure or a QTI style and call the appropriate code

Issue Links

This issue will help resolve:
MDL-10317 Streamline blackboard import Minor Open
This issue is duplicated by:
MDL-10314 When you import a BB6 Test Export File, moodle only brings in the first Test (dat 001 or something like that) and ignores the rest Major Closed

As this was similar to MDL 10314, that's been deleted- but please make sure dealing with this incorporates handling the multiple .dat files put into a BB zipped export, and creates categories as well.

More stuff.

  • Read the manifest file - consider if there is useful info therein
  • Handle additional files (in particular pictures) contained in the zip file

This should also support images and be compatible with examview blackboard 6+ export files as supported by various plugins via moodle discussion: Examview (Blackboard) Quiz Plugin
Current work could be borrowed from both myself github: gjenkins/moodle question-examview-6-import
and from work that jean-michel vedrine has done.
I would also be happy to provide blackboard .zip test files from ExamView. Or even help with coding for a combined import.
