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.

Please note: 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 course materials might have an Item Bank title of “COMM 100 CRW Chapter 1”. In addition, questions that you want to be randomized together must be in their own Item Bank. For example, all questions related to the transactional model of communication must be in their own Item Bank such as “COMM 100 CRW Chapter 1 - Transactional Model”.

Step by Step Instructions

  2. Click + Bank to create an Item Bank.

  3. Enter a title for the Item Bank (treat this similar to a folder name). If you plan to use this item bank in the current course, select the checkbox with the course name. Then click Create Bank.
