Notes and Tips

• Quizzes themselves cannot be exported in a way that keeps their layout and settings; only the questions can be shared.
• Each instructor must recreate their own quiz activity and link the questions manually.
• Ensure that any media or images used in the questions are correctly included during the export/import process.
