Using Question Bank
This feature allows a teacher to create, preview, and edit questions in a course question
bank, a database of questions. These questions can then be used in Quizzes.
1) Open the course to which you would like to add the questions and on “Questions” in
Administration block.
2) The initial Question Bank page has tabs that allow you (as teacher) to edit questions,
categories, import questions and export questions.

3) Select a category
Questions are organised into categories. Initially each course has only one category called
"Default". It is good practice to create more categories to organize your questions (Ex.
Chapter 1/topic 1 etc.). You can create a hierarchy of categories because you can create
subcategories inside parent categories. To add or edit categories click on the "Categories"
tab.
4) Add a new question
1. Click the Questions tab to access the Question Bank page, if not there already.
2. From the Category drop-down menu, select a category you want to add a question
to.
3. The page will change to show the questions already in that category .
4. Select the question type you want to create from the Create new question drop-
down menu.
5. Fill in the form for the question type you are creating. Each question type has its own
form and has its own options.
6. Click Save Changes at the bottom of the form.

5) Preview, Edit, Delete, and Move
The first column in the list of questions contains a number of icons and a selection box.
Clicking on the Preview icon will open a preview window in which you can test the question.
The Edit icon allows you to edit the question via the same form that you used to create it.
The Delete icon deletes the question, provided it is not already in use in some quiz. The
selection box allows you to select a subset of questions that you can then move to another
category using the controls below the list of questions.
