hi everyone in this very short video I'm going to show you how easy is to import a test package that you have been given from a publisher 
typically a test bank. I'm going into my course --I'm enrolled in this course as 
an instructor. I scroll down to the control panel and click on course tools
next I click on the tests surveys and pools tool link. Now you can select either of these any of these options but I'm going to select the pool 
tool because sometimes you get test banks from a publisher and they will import as pools,
and sometimes as tests, so I'm going to select pools and then select import pool,
and I'm going to browse my computer and navigate to the little test zip package that I 
had already downloaded that was from the publisher.
here it is--test 1315 zip. So I click on that, it shows up in my file name field and I click 
open. Nnow I see that's the selected file and I clicks submit.
Now if you look at the top left you can see that the little circle on my
tab for my browser is spinning-- that means that it's doing something so don't think that it's ignoring you. It says waiting down here at the 
bottom and then I get a message that says pool import complete. So that's fine now I'm done.
I'm clicking OK, but now I'm going to click this little link which is the breadcrumb
back to the tests surveys and pools tool.
Then I'm going to click in Pools, and I don't see it there, so I'm going to click in Tests, and there I have the test right here.
So if I want to edit the test and edit it, I can select the dropdown and select edit. 
I can modify any of the information about the various questions, I can modify the points; if a want to change the name of the test I can  
select the drop down here and edit it. And then after that of course you would have to deploy the test,
by going into one of your units, for example.
If I wanted to deploy this test I would go into my unit, selected Assessments, select Test, select the test that I wish to deploy and clicks submit.
Then I can put it would ever instructions I need to be sure to make it available to 
students because by default tests are not available.
Select the number of attempts, etc.
put the timer on--whatever options you wish to select-- and then click submit. As soon as I do that, once I deploy a test immediately there 
is going to be a grade column now for that test in grade center--you don't have to create one. So I go into full grade center and I scroll all the
way to the end and here I have the great column that is linked to this test... so if this is a test that has all 
auto grading questions such as true false and multiple choice
the grades from the students will automatically appear in this column.
I hope that the video was helpful.
