Ingesting Free Regents Question Banks into D2L!
Problem of practice
Regents exams dating back to the 1890s are available for free at the NYSED website, but copying the questions into an online learning system like D2L is a bit of a nightmare. Nevertheless the power of autograding and conditional releases based on diagnostics would make a Regents question bank VERY desirable indeed!
Solution
There are a number of teacher-led crowdsourcing projects that have produced Regents question banks compatible with the software ExamView, which happens to export in file formats that can be easily ingested into D2L. Watch the screencast to learn how!

Insert a URL for a doc that students need to work on. Though the video doesn't discuss it, remember that you may need to include a link for EACH group's doc in your post.
