Using HK Assessments in Your LMS

Last updated July 13, 2020

For many of our titles, Human Kinetics provides ready-made chapter quizzes and extensive test packages that can check your students' understanding of the most important chapter concepts. These downloads come in formats for integration with your learning management system and for print as a traditional paper-based assessment.

There are several options available to integrate the chapter quizzes into your learning management system (LMS)—using Respondus software to publish directly to your LMS or downloading question archives that can be imported into your LMS.

Use Respondus

With Respondus, instructors can download the chapter quizzes and test packages, modify or add additional items, and publish directly to Blackboard Learn, Brightspace, Canvas, Moodle, and other learning systems. You can find information and training videos on the Respondus website at https://web.respondus.com/he/respondus/resources/.

Download Question Archives from HKPropel

If you are unable to use the Respondus software, you can still download the assessments in question archives from your Instructor Pack in HKPropel and import into most standards-based learning management systems. The chapter quizzes and test packages are currently available in two different formats—one to be used with Blackboard Learn and Moodle and one to be used with learning management systems that support the IMS Question & Test Interoperability (QTI) format, such as Canvas.

Blackboard Format

If you are using Blackboard or Moodle, you should download the questions archives by chapter in the Blackboard format. Once you have downloaded the archives as ZIP files, you can use the following websites as guides to importing into your LMS.
