Managing the Question Bank
The Question Bank is a central repository that allows you to create, organize, and reuse questions across multiple tests within your courses. By storing questions in one place, you can efficiently build new assessments, maintain consistency in evaluation standards, and save time when updating or exporting content.
This feature is especially useful for managing large question sets, standardizing difficulty levels, and ensuring flexibility in test creation and reuse.
Managing the Question Bank
This feature can be accessed within any course. If not available, you can add and configure module permissions as for any other course feature (see reference guide).
Export Questions from the Question Bank
From the "Question Bank" section, you can export specific questions and answers so you can insert them:
- Into an existing test within the course
- Into a new test that will be automatically created after export
- Into a GIFT file that can be used for insertion into other tests in other courses
Selecting questions to export
Use the "Search" field to choose and select the questions to export.
This search can be done by Category and/or Difficulty and/or Type.
Once you've set up your search, click Search to view only the questions that match the selected filters.
In our example, we will choose:
- Questions of any category
- Medium difficulty
- SC type – single choice
Exporting questions
At this point, all we have left to do is:
- Select the questions you wish to export
- Click Export
- Choose from the available options
In our example, we will choose the “create a new test” option.
Enter the title of the new test and click on New Test.
The new test will be created with the imported questions and answers.
Import questions to the Question Bank
To insert a list of new questions and answers, click on Import.
Select a GIFT file to import and click the IMPORT button.
You will receive feedback on the import process and the questions will be added to the Question Bank.
Saving Questions from an Existing Test
It is possible to populate the Question Bank by adding questions directly from the edit section of a specific test.
