Introduction
A Question Bank is a set of questions and answers that you can apply across multiple Assessment Learning Objects. This article will provide instructions on how to create a Question Bank.
To learn how to add a Question Bank to an Assessment Learning Object, visit Configuring Assessment & Survey Questions.
Important Note
Keep in mind that questions and answers cannot be removed from a Question Bank once a Learner has answered them. It is possible to update question text; however, modifying this information can make Assessment report results appear mismatched with the inconsistent question and answer pairings.
If you need to change the information within a question or answer, we recommend that you duplicate the Question Bank and update/remove the incorrect information. Then adjust the linked Question Bank within the Assessment Learning Object to the new version. The original version will remain available for reporting purposes.
