Creation of a question pool consists of assigning a name and composing the questions, analogous to composing the questions of an exam. Question pools can serve as test banks for assessment questions, including random draw questions. For an overview, see What is a Question Pool?
Note: Because a question pool cannot be given to students as is, no exam settings are available.
Select the Tests & Quizzes tool from the Tool Menu in your site.
You can add a new Question Pool as an empty container for future questions.
Any question pools already available to you will show. Choose to either add a new one, or import a pool from another site. (See How do I import questions into an assessment or a Question Pool?)
Enter the data you desire and Save the Question Pool.
To open the pool for authoring and editing of questions, click on its name. (For more information on adding questions to a pool, see How do I add a question to a question pool?)
Copying a pool will duplicate the pool and all of its questions and subpools in a new location. The original pool, subpools, and questions will remain in the original location.
