Question Bank Defined

A Question Bank is a database of questions that can be shared between and among Courses, Learning Object Repositories, and Master Courses. Question Banks are searchable, so that questions meeting specific criteria can be drawn from them to create Assessments.

Creating a Question Bank

As you add questions to an Assessment, you have the option of adding each question to a Question Bank or you can create a Quesitons Bank and then use the quesitons within the Assessment.

1. Open a course or LOR with the Question Bank where you want to add the questions.
   
   
2. Click Manage
   
   
3. Click Question Bank Manager.
   
   
4. First you will add a folder for the questions that will be created. Click on the small triangle underneath the Course/LOR name.
   
   
5. In the window that opens, select Add subfolder. A Subfolder can be used for certain chapters or topic.
   
   
6. Another window will open asking for a folder name. Input a name and then click Save.
   You will see the folder now listed.

To add Questions:

1. Click on the small triangle beneath the folder to begin adding questions.
   
   
2. Click the Add question option.
