Creating Evaluations :

This section covers the creation of new Question Banks and how to use them to add content to your exams.

Using Question Banks:

You can use question banks to help speed up the process of making many tests. This is often a great way to save time and energy if you teach the same material in more than one class or more than one context. By using a question bank you won’t have to write out the same questions multiple times.

new question bank

Click on New Question Bank and then start adding questions just as we did before. Keep in mind that these questions are not part of any exam yet. Once you have created all the ques­­­tions you will need, we can start preparing the exam itself.

copy to exam

When you press Copy to Exam you will notice that the question you had highlighted is copied into the exam window. You can repeat this process to add individually selected questions to any exam. You can also click on the Random Selection Toolbar button. This gives you a toolbar with an option to randomly copy any number (you enter this number in the small field in the toolbar) of questions to the new exam. When you press Copy Now however many questions you want to copy are randomly selected and copied to the exam.
