Does SayaLab work with Canvas?

Yes. On the Pro tier, SayaLab exports a QTI 1.2 package, an IMS Common Cartridge-compatible ZIP, that you import into Canvas as a quiz. It carries the question text, options, answer key, and, if you choose, explanations and Bloom's level metadata.

What QTI version does SayaLab export?

SayaLab exports QTI 1.2, packaged as an IMS Common Cartridge-compatible ZIP with a manifest and one item file per question. This is the format Canvas reads through its standard import.

How do I import the package into Canvas?

In your Canvas course, open Settings, choose Import Course Content, and select QTI .zip file as the content type. Upload the ZIP SayaLab gave you, run the import, then review and publish the quiz Canvas builds from it.

Pro-tier export

How it works

From source material to your LMS.

QTI export is a Pro-tier feature. SayaLab produces a QTI 1.2 package, an IMS Common Cartridge-compatible ZIP, which Canvas reads through its standard course or quiz import.

01Generate the assessment — Upload your material, set the objectives and Bloom's levels you want, and let SayaLab generate the questions.
02Review the evidence — Each question reaches you with its verified Bloom's level, objective alignment, distractor plausibility, and source grounding, so review means confirming, not catching.
03Export the QTI package — Choose QTI as the export target and download the ZIP. It contains the manifest and one item file per question, formatted to the QTI 1.2 schema.
04Import into Canvas — In your Canvas course, use Import Course Content and select the QTI .zip. Canvas creates a quiz from the package, which you can review and publish.

What carries over

Your questions arrive intact.

The export carries the parts of each question you reviewed, so what you validated in SayaLab is what your learners see.

Question text and options — every question stem, with multiple-choice and true or false options as single-select responses.
The answer key — when you include answer keys, each question carries its correct response and a full-credit score condition.
Distractors — the wrong answers you validated travel with each multiple-choice question, in order.
Explanations as feedback — when you include explanations, they are written as item feedback tied to the correct response.
Bloom's level metadata — when you include Bloom metadata, each item carries its verified Bloom's level as a QTI metadata field.

Short-answer and essay questions are exported as text-entry items; essays are never auto-graded. QTI 1.2 support varies slightly across LMSs, so some fields, such as Bloom metadata, may be read differently depending on the importer.
