Why export it?
Why export?
Learning platforms do not accept a NotebookLM screen or ordinary document as an assessment import. They require a supported interchange package with a manifest, question records, choices and answer information.
Native option check
Can Gemini Notebook handle this export natively?
NotebookLM does not natively package completed quizzes as QTI. The extension creates a QTI ZIP, but the receiving LMS still determines which QTI version and question features it can import correctly.

Common follow-up questions
What people need to know before using this export
Can I import the QTI file into Canvas?
Canvas supports QTI imports through its course-content import workflow. Platform configuration varies, so test the package in a non-production course first.
Does QTI work with Blackboard and Brightspace?
Those systems support QTI workflows, but compatibility depends on version, enabled tools and question type. Validate the imported result rather than assuming exact parity.
Why is the export a ZIP file?
A QTI package contains XML assessment data and a manifest inside an archive. Upload the package as provided unless your LMS specifically instructs otherwise.
