Using Respondus To Upload an Existing Quiz
Respondus operates in basically the same way as it did in WebCT4.
Download the Respondus program: • GSU has a campus license for Respondus. • You must download the file from our WebCT server. • To download, go to the WebCT login page, and click on Faculty Resources. • All information for downloading Respondus is available there. • You will need to contact Gary Fisk for the password.
Let’s say you have an existing quiz: Before you upload the quiz to Respondus, you will have to format the file. Here’s an example of how to format a multiple choice exam:
You will have to re-format the quiz for Respondus: Remove the answer spaces.
Be sure there is one space between the question number and the question.

Once you’ve formatted: Save your file so that it’s ready to upload to Respondus. Be sure to save it as a .txt. file!
Saving as .txt file: Click File/Save As. Select Plain Text in the “Save as Type” window. Click “Save”

If you get a warning: • Go back to the quiz and try to figure out what is wrong. • When you have re-formatted, save the file, and try to reload the quiz to Respondus. • Remember, you must close your .txt file before Respondus will load it.
What if you have other types of questions in your quiz? Remember: • Each type of question has its own format. • The formatting must be exact for each type of question in order to load the quiz successfully.
