Importing questions from an XML or SQZ file
SMART Response software includes an import feature for converting questions from ExamView
format XML files or SMARTSync™ classroom management software SQZ files into question sets.
SMART Response software uses the tags in the XML and SQZ files to extract questions, answers
and correct responses, and then converts the information into assessment pages.
