The existing default screen for Edit/Browse Collections is the New Collection screen which allows the user to create a new collection from their list of questions. When selecting an existing collection, the screen changes to show the name of the collection and to allow additional links for the functions Delete Collection and Add Collection to Quiz.

Design Specification

The goals for the Quiz Builder question pool export design are as follows:

1. Minimal code changes to Quiz Builder. Since the quizzing function in MyUCDavis is no longer being developed, the simplest functionality to achieve the result is desirable.
2. Simple export functionality consistent with the existing export quiz function.
3. The export process must document content changes from one system to the other.
4. Exported content must be consistent with the current Samigo import requirements.

Faculty who use the Edit/Browse Questions and Edit/Browse Collections features are already familiar with MyUCDavis functionality. It's desirable to limit changes to make the new exports easy for faculty to access and use. If faculty are migrating their Quiz Builder content, then having the export quiz, question pool or collection UI and functionality consistent will minimize the amount of learning required to use these functions.

The export process needs to inform faculty of any content that will not be exported and any differences between Quiz Builder and Tests & Quizzes. The export process needs to be as close to a one-button process as possible. Finally, the content must be exported in a format that is readily consumable by Tests & Quizzes, i.e., that requires no modifications by faculty for the import to succeed.

GUI Review: Export Question Pool

The existing default screen for Edit/Browse Questions is the Browse Questions screen which allows the user to select questions from their pool list.

Image Added

I propose to add a link entitled 'Export Collection' to the list of collection functions for an existing collection. When the user selects this link, a new window will open, similar to the export quiz window. The new window will be entitled 'Collection Export: collectionname' where the collection name is displayed in place of collectionname. Download instructions will appear next, followed by detailed information under Collection Export Notes. Details listed will include any media associated with the questions, listing question types that will not be translated (i.e., calculated questions) and how the questions differ between Quiz Builder and Samigo.

Code Functionality

Currently, the MyUCDavis cms runs on ColdFusion MX 6 with an Oracle database. New code for exporting question pools will use the existing environment
