Questions may be exported from the Quiz module and the Question bank in any one of 4 formats:
- Aiken format
- GIFT format
- LMS XML format
- XHTML format
Questions may be exported into Word format using a contributed plugin, Word table format. These can then be easily used to support offline review and editing of all components of a set of questions, or to create paper tests. Questions may also be exported into an alternative HTML tabular format using another contributed plugin, HTML table format. This format displays all components of a question, for easier offline review.
