How can I move a question bank outside a course to a course category and manage it ? (Moodle 3.7)

Hi,

Today I was trying to find a mean for use a series of question bank for two certifications each on a different course without using an importation to manage two question bank separately.


So I can see (in Question Bank / Category) that I could move a question bank from a course to a category course (And so use my question bank for the two courses which are in the same Course category).

But if I can find a Question bank menu in Course's administration, I cannot find one in Course category 's administration : Is there a solution to join and manage a question bank from a course category ? (I want to able to find it, rename it or move it on a another course or course category).

Can we also move a question bank in "Default System" and if Yes, how can we join it and manage it ?


With Thanks,

Adriano

You could try this:
A. Sharing Questions between courses in the same Category
1. Select the category link to access the Edit Category page. Scroll down to the Add new category section of the page.
2. Select from the Parent category dropdown list the Course Category (such as Maintenance) at the Name area enter a new name for the “shared questions.” The name should be unique to avoid confusion. Save.
3. If the questions exist in the course question bank. Select the question bank and move them to the new category.
4. If they do not already exist, select the question bank and select the new category for the shared questions. Create questions as needed.
5. When creating the quiz – select which category>question bank to select the questions from.

I believe that the short answer is yes.  However, trying to describe the variety of methods will take too long.

The best thing to do is to set up a sandbox Moodle, and experiment.

A set of questions can be shared among many quizzes.  If you want similar, but not exact questions, yes, you can duplicate the beginning set and put them into their own separate category.  And there are ways to share some questions, yet keep some unique.  Experimentation will go a long way to learning Moodle's powerful quiz system.
