How to Create a Question Bank

My University > Catalog > Question Bank    

Name your first question bank, and think about leaving it inactive until all of your questions are just right. Once your question bank is active, it is then available to be used in or copied to assessment modules.

Note: When a question bank is used in one or more assessment module(s), it cannot be made inactive until it is removed from all modules. 
To view what modules are currently using a question bank, open up that question bank to edit mode. Directly under the general settings section is a section called “Modules Using this Bank.”
