Instructors can use question banks to create a database of questions they can reuse in multiple assessments. You can create new question banks or import existing ones to use in your courses. Visit the "Reuse Questions" topic to learn more about reusing questions in assessments.
When you select questions from a bank and add them to an assessment, copies of the questions are created and added to the assessment. Select Reuse questions from the dropdown menu when you go to create a new question in an assessment by selecting the plus sign.
You can edit the questions that you've copied to your assessment.. Changes you make to one instance of the question or content aren't reflected in the other instances. If you want changes to show in all instances, you must find and edit each copied instance.
As the file imports, you can view the supported question types. You'll receive a success message when the file imports successfully. You'll also receive a message if the file or some question types weren't uploaded.
When you delete a question bank, it is permanently removed from your course. If you copied questions from the bank into one or more assessments, those questions remain in your assessments after you delete the bank. However, you can't delete question banks used in question pools. Visit the "Tests, Pools, and Surveys" topic for more information on question pools.
If you have other types of files that work in the Original Course View, you can import the files into an Original course and export them on the Pools page. Next, import the ZIP files into your Ultra course on the Question Banks page.
The Question bank allows a teacher to create, preview and edit questions in a database and use them in the Quiz (or selected ones in a Lesson) activity. Questions are organized in categories and subcategories similar to the way files are stored in folders and subfolders. These categories may be limited to being used on the site, course or quiz level.
Columns you see in the Question bank are separate Moodle plugins. What you see in the Question bank depends on what the administrator has enabled or disabled from Site administration > Question bank plugins > Manage Question bank plugins. They can also rearrange the order the columns appear from Site administration > Plugins > Question bank plugins > Column sort order. However, since Moodle 4.3 teachers can rearrange, remove or resize these columns to customise their own view of the question bank. A reset columns option is also available.
From the Status column you can see which questions are ready to be used in quizzes and which need checking by colleagues. Whether a question is draft or read can be specified when creating the question as well as in this column.
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. This not only makes it easier to find questions, but makes the use of random questions and matching questions easier. 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.
The question editing screen shows the questions from the currently selected category. You choose this category from the Select a category drop-down menu. Using the tick box below that menu you determine whether to also show the questions from all subcategories.
If a question is deleted when it is still being used by a quiz, then it is not removed from the database, because that would cause all sorts of problems. Instead it is just set to hidden. 'Also show old questions' is for showing these hidden questions.
There are separate question category trees in each different 'context' in which questions are shared. The contexts available to you depend on whether you access the question bank from an activity or from a course and depend on the permissions assigned you for access to questions. See Question contexts for more information on these contexts.
I've created a bank of 36 questions and I've made a quiz, in which I've drawn 12 random questions from the bank. I get the spinning progress wheel, but it never seems to execute. I 've tried restarting the browser, and the computer, but no luck. Any ideas what may be causing this? The wheel is still spinning... (image attached).
Had a closer look at it: I tried to import the questions one by one into the course instead of letting Rise draw them and it turned out it was one specific question (a multiple-choice, in my case) which was dodgy. The import did not work for this one question.
I deleted that question and set it up from scratch, and now the automatic draw works. No idea why the one question didn't work but this was less work than writing all questions in the question bank new.
(fyi I had initially created questions in the quiz itself, then decided to use a question bank and copied them all - perhaps I wouldn't have had the error if built directly in the question bank - although, that defeats the benefits of being able to copy questions - also fyi that I removed and added images first and the quiz showed the questions but not the images, when I then removed the bank and re-added (as shown in my steps above) everything worked)
Same problem. I don't have any images in any questions that I am trying to draw. The first bank of 5 questions I created was fine. But every other bank I have created since, no good. Just a spinning wheel. The Bank of questions is a complete waste of time, since I have to write them now. I wasted hours!
There are several ways that this can be accomplished, but I think the easiest would be for you to ask your Canvas Admin to create a shared sandbox (empty Canvas shell) for you and the other instructor. You could then copy the question bank into that shell work on it together, and then draw items from that bank to use in quizzes in your respective courses.
I have a similar, perhaps not exactly the same, question. I don't want to share banks, I want to have a common bank from which multiple courses that I teach pull from. I teach the same course in multiple sections with staggered start dates. When I move to a new edition of the text, I spend time "cleaning" the question banks, as quizzes are taken, by removing poorly worded or overly confusing questions from the bank and giving the poor student to happened to get that question credit for it. So now in one course I have a partial set of "clean" test banks that I'd like to use in the other sections. How can I share these so that they can replace the questions banks already in the second/third course and so that I don't have to re-create the quizzes in those other sections?
In summary, is there a "master" test bank concept that I'm not aware of OR is there a way for me to replace all of the questions in a test bank so that the linkage between that bank and the quiz remains intact?
I established a set of "master" test banks in what I'm calling my "master" course, booked-marked them, and used them in quizzes in a new course. This worked very well. But when I copied that course to second instance (second section), all of the links to the bookmarked banks went away and the quiz malfunctioned for the students. Here's what I see when I edit the quiz:
Hello all. I'm new as a Canvas designer and admin at my school here in Hershey PA. To me, the question banks feature based on what I'm reading sounds very unilateral. As in, Someone can create questions at an admin level which enables teachers to then draw from those questions. But...the rub seems to be that those teachers cannot add questions to the same account. The solution from what I'm reading on here seems to be (exporting is not going to work for us as described):
2. The most realistic option: create a course called "English Department" and make all the English/Language Arts teachers, instructors in the course. No students, no grades--but teachers could create question banks by grade level>course level>unit/topic level. They could then contribute and pull.
Yes. You can have a course with only question banks and all of the teachers have access to the course. Bookmarking the question bank allows the bank to the seen in any other course the teacher belongs to as a teacher.
Hi Amy,
If you're using the same set of questions on the question bank, you'd probably be better of copy/pasting the .story file and make changes on your copy. That way you will retain the question bank (and all the questions).
Thaks for the reply but that won't work - 1 project has just 1 question back while the other currently has 4 (an extended version of the first) and I need to add the question bank form the first project to the second - thereby having 5 question banks.
You probably have solved this already, but if double click on a question in the question bank, it opens all of the questions as slides. You can then copy those slides and paste them into the new Storyline file where you would start a new question bank and choose "import questions already in this project" then select the slides with questions you just pasted.
This is not obvious how to accomplish but I figured it out (though I see this thread is a year old). For example, I have two separate projects that I want to combine. I want to add the questions bank from "B" to the "A" project. I opened the blank question bank in project "A" and clicked to add a question. The options box appears where you can choose the type of question, but there is also a tab called "IMPORT" which allows you to browse to another project and import slides from there. It imports the "B" question bank as a new question bank in "A". DONE.
