Access the Question Bank

The Question Bank for your course is an excellent resource for making the creation of Moodle quizzes easier. As you go through material, you can set up questions here without creating an associated quiz. When the time comes to give a quiz, you can add items from your question bank. Questions added to the course Question Bank are available to add to quizzes you create in the future, and any questions created within a quiz are automatically added to the question bank.

For information beyond this article, visit Moodle documentation here.

1. Navigate to the Moodle course you would like to access the Question Bank for. From the course menu, select "More".

2. From the drop-down menu, select "Question Bank".

4. You are now accessing your course's question bank. Questions not added to a category will be added to a default category for that course.

  • Manage the questions you would like to see in your question bank view by selecting a 'Category' from the drop down menu which contains the text "Type or select" in the first highlighted box.
  • Additionally, create new questions for your question bank by clicking the "Create a new question..." button. 
  • To move a question to a different category or delete a question from the question bank, select the question you would like to move or delete by clicking the question's check box on the left hand side of the question's row. Then, click the "With selected" button in the bottom left-hand corner and click "Move to..." if you would like to move the question to a different category, or "Delete" if you would like to delete the question from the question bank.
