How to import a quiz into LearnDash from Word, Google Forms, Moodle and more

Creating a quiz on LearnDash question by question is tedious and cumbersome. This article will show you how you can create a LearnDash quiz by importing from your Word document, Google Forms, Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Kahoot, Quizizz, Quizlet, Blooket or Gimkit.

Step 1: Go to your LearnDash Quizzes page, then click on Import/Export

Go to your LearnDash Quizzes page, then on the top right corner click on Actions then Import/Export.

Step 2: Click on Import

Once you are inside your LearnDash Quiz Import/Export page, click on the Import button on the bottom left corner.

A box will appear asking for you to upload a .wpq or .xml file. Those file formats will contain the quiz data necessary for LearnDash to generate the quiz.

Our task now is to convert your quiz -- wherever it is and in whatever format -- into what LearnDash expects.
