Respondus 4.0 accepts Word documents formatted to Respondus Standard Format for bulk question import. Formatting a Word file to Respondus Standard Format manually is exacting work: each question type has specific syntax requirements, numbering conventions, and answer indicators. Pirai AI generates a Respondus Standard Format .docx file automatically from any source document. Import it directly into Respondus 4.0 and publish to your LMS.
How Respondus 4.0 Import Works
Respondus 4.0 imports Word documents pre-formatted to Respondus Standard Format. The file uses specific answer indicators, question numbering, and type tags that Respondus reads to build your question bank. Pirai AI generates this structure correctly so the import validates cleanly on the first attempt.

Conversion Notes : Read Before Importing
Before you import, please note: Single and multiple choice questions convert natively. Multiple answer questions support more than one correct answer. RankOrder and ConstantSum convert to multiple choice, losing ranking and sum functionality. Matrix questions are expanded: each statement becomes its own individual question. Short answer questions export as Essay type (graded manually in the LMS). TE:Form fields convert to fill-in-the-blank. Descriptive blocks and page breaks are skipped.
