Creating Categories and Questions within a Question Bank

Creating questions within a question bank is a great way to stay organized when you have a large number of questions in your course and want to share or reuse them between quizzes and/or courses. It is also necessary to create questions in a question bank if you want to randomize them within your quiz.

1. From your course homepage, select More within the course navigation bar, then Question Banks
2. If you already have a course question bank you would like to add your questions to, select it. If you do not have a question bank created, you can add one by clicking the red Add button at the top right of the page.
3. Once your question bank is open, you can add questions to the bank directly and they will be placed in the default category for the question bank. To better organize and set up questions for randomization.
   1. Create a category by selecting Categories from the drop-down menu and the red Add category button at the top of the page.
   2. In the Add category pop-up, select a Parent category (your new category will exist within the parent category), give your new category a name, and then select the red Add category button at the bottom right of the pop-up.
4. Create questions by selecting Questions from the drop-down menu, and then selecting the Create a new question... button.
5. Choose a question type from the left panel in the pop-up menu, then click the red Add button at the bottom of the menu.
   
6. Select the category you would like the questions to fall under, then complete all other fields to create the question and click the red Save changes button at the bottom of the page when you are finished.
