Dave and Przemek, (I am kind of late to this discussion, but I think it is still relevant)
Our teachers share a great deal of content between each other, and a lot of our courses have 20,000+ extra questions in them now due to most people using the course-level questions and importing content. This is a two-fold issue because there is not a quick way to bulk-delete unused questions in a course. Even after I spend a couple of hours helping a teacher clean up their question bank in a course, they can instantly create a mess by importing a quiz from the wrong course.
Because of this, we have begun encouraging teachers to use the quiz-level questions, because if teachers use the sharing cart tool to 'import' from someone who is only using the quiz-level questions, it will only bring over the quiz and those questions related to that quiz. However, if even one of the questions in a quiz is at the course-level, it will import the entire course-level question bank.
Moodle has a lot of quirks in regards to sharing content between courses.
