Exporting a Quiz to Word using Respondus

Why Do This?

You might like a Word document version of your Cougar Courses quiz/exam whether for you personal records or for a student who needs to take the exam offline. There is currently no way to export to Word directly from Cougar Courses, but you can do so using the software Respondus. You will need to use CougarApps to access the Respondus software.
