How a Moodle quiz export fits into course prep

Instructors often build practice tests from lecture slides, then need a moodle quiz export so the questions can load straight into their course. Writing every question and wrong-answer option by hand takes time that could go to teaching.

Start from your own lecture slides or notes instead of generic question banks.
Review each explanation before importing, since you are responsible for the final course content.
Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 exports are included with the Pro plan at $14.99 per month.
Free accounts get 3 generations per month and can study in the browser without exports.
