Export Survey to Moodle: A Step-by-Step Guide

Creating surveys and quizzes for your courses in Moodle can sometimes feel time-consuming, especially if you have content stored in different formats like Google Docs, PDFs, or spreadsheets. Luckily, with Formswrite , you can streamline this process and export your surveys directly to Moodle in just a few clicks. Formswrite is an online tool that allows you to convert any document — Google Docs, Sheets, PDFs, or images — into a Google Form and then export it as a Moodle-compatible XML file.

Here’s how to get your survey from your document to Moodle quickly and efficiently.

1. Upload Your Document

The first step is to upload your content. With Formswrite, you can upload files either directly from your computer or from Google Drive. This flexibility ensures that no matter where your survey questions are stored, you can quickly start the conversion process.

• Supported formats include Google Docs, Google Sheets, PDFs, Word documents, and even images.

• Simply drag and drop your file into Formswrite or use the “Upload” button to select your file.

2. Convert Your Document into a Google Form

Once your file is uploaded, Formswrite automatically detects the question types in your document and creates a Google Form. This step saves you the tedious work of manually copying and pasting each question into a form. Formswrite’s smart detection ensures multiple-choice questions, checkboxes, and short-answer questions are all properly formatted.

3. Click on Convert

After reviewing your automatically generated Google Form, click the “Convert” button. This finalizes your form and prepares it for export. At this stage, you can make any necessary adjustments to the questions, answers, or form layout.

4. Export to Moodle XML

With your Google Form ready, the last step is to export it to Moodle. Simply click on “Export to Moodle XML” , and Formswrite will generate a file compatible with Moodle’s quiz import system. You can then upload this file directly into your Moodle course, and your survey or quiz will be ready for students to complete.
