Export and Import Questions

Hello,

Despite a couple of simple issues, I find the plugin far superior to many other WP quiz plugins I have tested so far. I believe that the option to import/export quizzes and questions is one of the major advantages, although this is offered through a paid plugin. The plugin can be useful for those who want to transfer quizzes/questions from one website to another.

In addition, this plugin is supposed to enable us to add hundreds of questions that were created elsewhere with a single import action. What I find hard to implement is, however, doing this (that is, importing self-created questions) by creating a CSV or a JSON file. The sample files I found on the official website for the plugin (in exported_quizzes_1599638398.zip) are very discouraging, to say the least. As a matter of fact, I have always found both CSV and JSON formats utterly useless for such import actions.

There are a couple of LMSs – Moodle, for example – which support the AIKEN format:

Question text
A) Option one
B) Option two
C) Option three
ANSWER: B

Or, there is the simplified AIKEN format used by Open eClass and H5P:

Question text
Option one::Feedback for option one
*Option two::Feedback for option two
Option three::Feedback for option three

Not to mention the GIFT format used in Moodle, with which almost any kind of question can be imported and exported.

I wonder why quiz and LMS plugin developers for WP do not attempt to use one of these and/or similar formats – because such formats are difficult of implement (I doubt it) or because developers are unaware of them (I suspect so)? The fact that WP supports the import/export of CSV/JSON files should not necessarily mean that the plugin developers cannot try and implement simpler and more practical ways.

Regards.
