What is a question bank

A question bank often contains a collection of exercises that belong to the same subject, field of education or study. You can use question banks to collaborate on exercises with your colleagues. You can even collaborate with colleagues from other schools to improve quality and save time.

In a question bank, you can create, store, share, test, tag, label and reuse exercises. In addition, assignments can be created by using blueprints that match the study goals of the curriculum.

Question banks are stand-alone and are created separately from your courses.

• Compose an assignment faster by (re)using existing exercises.
• Store questions from the same subject in one place.

• Verify exercises by allowing colleagues to share feedback.
