How to Use Question Banks With Classic Quizzes

Introduction

Questions built out in Canvas are automatically added to a question bank. Banks can be curated and shared between classes and instructors. Using question banks, instructors can have Canvas select random questions from a specific bank and insert them into a quiz.

Tutorial

The following pages are resources in the Canvas Guides that explain the essentials of effectively creating and using question banks in Canvas. Question banks are a POWERFUL feature that can save teachers time.

NOTE: for greatest flexibility, create one question bank for each standard/outcome that will be measured.  Then create a quiz that pulls questions from one or more question banks.
