What is it?
Questions banks enables quiz questions to be created, previewed and edited in a database of question categories. The questions in a category can be added to a Quiz or to a Lesson activity via an export process.
Why use it?
Using quiz question categories allow you to more easily find and re-use your questions across Moodle courses and within separate quizzes.
Who can use it?
Tutors and course administrators can create quiz categories and questions.
Before I start...
Determine what categories make sense for finding and re-using quiz questions within your course. Categories may also be used to allocate random-quiz questions within a formative quiz. This feature is not recommended for credit-bearing (summative) assessments, as allocating different quiz questions to different students could be deemed as unfair and may be challenged by students.
How do I set one up?
The teacher enters the question bank by creating or editing a quiz activity or via Course administration > Question bank.
You can then follow the instructions for adding quiz questions.
