Word2QTI Utility

Windows utility for creating a QTI assessment file from a Microsoft Word template.

To author questions for Firmwater LMS's built-in assessment engine, you follow a table-based template in Word. You then run the Word document through a little conversion utility and load the resulting file to the LMS. (Firmwater LMS supports loading assessments in QTI, a standard for specifying questions and tests.)
