That's the Datafom module. Available from the plugins repo. Discussed at https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=8192.

Not possible with the Database module.

The Dataform module allows you to select the entry owner when you add an entry. This way you can add entries on behalf of your students. Then if you set the activity Max entries to 0 and Separate participants to Yes, students cannot add entries on their own and when they enter the activity they can see only their designated entry. You can also import the students entries from csv by specifying the entry owner as the student username or idnumber.

Construct the template html accordingly, replacing the input tags with the patterns of the respective fields. You can put the css in the css template. You may need to adjust the css form the example to match to the way the input fields are rendered by the Database activity.

IMO, both are valid behaviors. In many cases one would want to add another that is just like the previous except for one parameter. In such cases it would be quite time consuming to start each new entry from scratch. At any rate, it is just a matter of implementing these behaviors. The Dataform module, for instance, allows you to include in the submission form any subset of the submission buttons which appear in the following illustration. In particular, the button you are looking for is the 'Save and Start New'.

But then again, the Dataform also allows you to add/edit multiple entries in one form which might be even closer to what you need.

To begin with, give up the notion of "once and for all" and embrace the notion of "redesign as some point". That's how new and greater things come to existence.

What's the alternative to course wide question bank? If you're just starting to work with the question bank, you should give yourself some time to gain deeper understanding of how things work and how to make this work more efficient and effective. Consider that in a mature practice/assessment component in a course you are likely to have hundreds or even thousands of questions/problems in a complex logical structure. Look into using the question import. This would allow you to create the questions outside Moodle and bulk upload them.

The Cloze question type is very powerful. If you are comforable with html, css and javascript you can create fairly complex stuff with it.
