Upload a Word doc, PDF, or text file full of questions. Holon Quiz parses, previews, and imports them directly into Canvas — no copy-paste, no manual entry.
✓ Free for 5 days · No credit card · Installs in your own Canvas
Stop re-typing questions. If you already have them written somewhere, Holon Quiz will import them.
Drag in a Word doc, PDF, or plain text file containing your questions. Holon Quiz detects multiple choice, multiple answer, true/false, and essay question formats automatically.
Review the parsed questions before anything touches Canvas. Fix any misread items, adjust point values, and confirm answer keys — all in a clean editor.
Set the quiz name, number of attempts, shuffle options, whether to show correct answers, assignment group, and target engine (Classic or New Quizzes).
Click Import. Holon Quiz creates the quiz in your course via the Canvas API and publishes it instantly — or keeps it unpublished if you prefer to review first.
Canvas's built-in import is a maze of QTI packages and broken exports. Holon Quiz just works.
Automatically detects multiple choice, multiple answer, true/false, and essay questions. Bold text in Word docs flags correct answers without any special markup.
See exactly how your questions will appear in Canvas before a single API call is made. Edit anything that parsed incorrectly right in the preview panel.
Control attempts, shuffling, answer display, assignment group, module placement, and publish state — everything you'd set manually, done in one form.
Import to Classic Quizzes, New Quizzes, or both at once. Generates proper QTI 1.2 for Classic and uses the Canvas API for New Quizzes engine.
Don't want to import directly? Download a QTI zip package instead — compatible with Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and any LMS that supports QTI 1.2.
Every import is logged. Review past imports, see which questions came from which files, and re-import or duplicate quizzes anytime.
Holon Quiz doesn't just import. It also generates QTI 1.2 packages you can take anywhere. Perfect for sharing question banks between institutions, migrating between LMS platforms, or archiving your quizzes in a portable format.
No per-quiz fees. No upload limits. Both plans include a 5-day free trial.
Works with any Canvas instance. Installs at the course or account level.
In any Canvas course, click Settings in the left nav, then the Apps tab.
Click + App, choose "By URL" as the configuration type.
Your LTI key, secret, and config URL are available in your Holon account after registering.
If it's written down somewhere, Holon Quiz can turn it into a Canvas quiz.
