Q: Is there a way to change the labels on the tabs on the navigation bar on the left side of the course?
A: No way to change the names of the buttons on the left navigation toolbar.
Q: In Angel, we could cut and paste quiz questions from a word document and create a complete quiz. Can this be done in Canvas or do we need to type each question and answer in separately?
A: Canvas doesn't have a Paste from Word option. Browsers don't like text pasted from Word so it isn't advisable. Plus, pasting from Word creates a very large file for very little text. The Canvas course limit is 500MB so you don't want a lot of unnecessary code in your class. If you can create the test in Notepad or Expressions Web, you can paste from either of those using keyboard commands (Control+C and Control+V). Otherwise, doing it manually is the best option unliss you can import from a publisher’s test bank.
Q: Can you import a text file (.txt) to create a question bank in Canvas?
A: No import option for a text file. You can import into Canvas using the Import content into the course tool. Assuming you're using a test bank, export from the test bank in an Angel format if available and if not Bb 6 or greater. Then go to settings>Import content into the course (right toolbar)>import content from a content package or from another system>from the dropdown, choose either Angel or Bb depending on your export. That's the only option for now.
