Moodle Tutorials: Using the Question Bank
Using the Question Bank
The Question Bank provides a simple way to organize and manage questions so you have access to them for future use. It also allows you to use random questions as well as re-use questions in later quizzes. This page outlines how to create categories within the Question Bank and how to add questions to those categories.
Creating a Category
1. To begin, click on the gear icon on top right and then on "More...":
Then click on Categories at the bottom of Course Administration Window:
2. Next, the Edit categories page will appear. If quizzes have already been created they will automatically have a "Default" category in the Quiz bank.
3. Select add a category. Next, select the Parent category you would like the new category to go under using the drop-down menu.
4. Create a name for this category. You may wish to include a brief description of the types of questions that can be found here.
When you are ready to continue, select Add category at the bottom of the page.
