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. This guide provides instruction on how to create Item Banks and add questions to those banks.
