ID&D KB How-to Guide

Working together to enhance teaching & learning. If you need additional assistance, please reach out to the ID&D team.

In New Quizzes, Item banks are used to store questions for use in multiple assessments, for randomizing questions within an assessment, and for sharing questions with others. Item Banks are associated with a user and can be used in multiple courses. Questions updated in an Item bank are updated in all assessments that use that question. You can use your item banks in any course where you have permission to create and edit an assessment using New Quizzes. Questions in item banks can be added to a New Quiz individually or as a randomized group.

  2. Create or locate and Item Bank (similar to a folder) that contains the questions you want to use in the assessment. When creating an Item Bank it is recommended that you add the course and other syntax to distinguish Item Banks from one another as they no longer sit within a single course. For example, questions related to COMM 100 using the OER Communication in the Real World might have an Item Bank title of “COMM 100 CRW Chapter 1”.

  3. Once you have located the Item Bank, click on the title to see the questions.

    1. To add a single question from the item bank to the assessment:
