Import/Export Learning Standards
The Standards tab in Atomic Assessments allows instructors and administrators to align assessments and questions with academic standards, such as English, Math, or specific grade levels (e.g., 10th Grade, 11th Grade). These standards can be used to generate grading insights and reporting data, making them especially useful in K–12 environments.
With the 25.11 release, you can now import and download standards using a CSV file. This enhancement makes it easier to share, back up, or reuse standards across different courses or institutions.
Downloading Standards
To download your current standards list:
-
Go to your Atomic Assessments instance in Canvas or D2L.
-
Open the Activity Manager.
-
From the three-dot menu, select Content Manager.
-
Choose the Standards tab.
-
Click the Download button to export your standards as a CSV file.
This will generate a CSV file containing all standards currently available in your instance.

CSV Format Notes
-
The CSV must include the correct column headers (format details will be included in the downloadable example file).
-
Imported standards will overwrite any existing standards with matching identifiers.
-
For best results, download a copy of your current standards first, then use that file as a template for new imports.
