Question Banks are a group of quiz questions. Banks collect questions together to make it simpler to store, access, and reuse quiz questions. Once question banks have been created, teachers can use them by copying questions from a bank into a quiz, or starting in a quiz and pulling questions from a bank.
This guide explains two methods for copying questions from a bank to a quiz, starting from a bank or from a quiz.
Before you start
- To create quizzes, teachers must have the Enhanced Curriculum tool right.
