Accessing the Importer
Enable Akindi in your LMS course shell. You can find instructions on how to do this for each Learning Management System below:
Click the "Launch Akindi" link and you'll then see the option to "Launch Importer".
Uploading Test Questions
Akindi Importer will only accept .docx files, however we provide a lot of flexibility when it comes to formatting within the document. You shouldn’t need to reformat anything within your .docx file, before uploading, but we have outlined some formatting FAQs here.
Click within the 'Upload' box or drag and drop your .docx file into the box. Akindi will then begin the process of uploading your file.
Once uploaded, you'll see the contents of your test questions displayed in Akindi.
Reviewing the contents
Scroll to review each question, to ensure Akindi has imported and is displaying the question and answer content as it appears in your .docx file.
Answer keys
The correct answer is indicated in Akindi by the highlighted cell for multiple choice questions, the text displayed in the answer box for open-ended questions, and the text displayed for Fill in the Blank or Matching questions. You can edit the answer key in Akindi for any of these question types.
Editing content
Double click into any text, table or image to edit it. Changes will be automatically saved on the page.
