Creating Questions in a Question Bank

The Question Bank is a pool of questions (with various question types) you can use in Quiz and Lesson activities. You can then set up quizzes using random questions or specific questions from your question bank.

NOTE: You can add questions to quizzes directly, but it is not recommended as you will only have access to those questions in that specific quiz.

Scroll to the top of the main course page.

From the secondary navigation, click the More menu.

Select the Question Bank option.

From the Select a category drop-down menu, select the category where you want to add questions.

NOTE: If you don’t see the category you want to use, you will need to create the category in your question bank.

Click the Create a new question… button.

From the Choose a question type to add window, select the radio button for the type of question you want.

NOTE: If you aren’t sure which question type you need, please read the provided description or review this document that outlines the questions types available in Moodle before you choose.

Click the Add button.

Complete the form for the question type you have selected.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Save changes button.

Repeat until you have added all the questions for the category.
