Instructor-created questions can be added in bulk using question imports. If an instructor has more than 50 questions to add to our system, they can fill out our Import Template in Excel, and we will add them to their account.
The Excel file for import can be found on our site here.
When you open the file, the first page contains instructions on how to fill it out and explanations for each column. Certain items are required for our Development Team to be able to add the questions. Once the file has been completed, it should be submitted to our support team at support@platinumed.com. From there, our Support Team will review the file for any missing items and then forward it to the development team for import.
