How do I add a random set of questions from an Item Bank in New Quizzes?
You will learn how to utilize an Item Bank to bring in a select number of questions which are randomly drawn from that Item Bank. So, for example, if I have 30 questions in my Item Bank, but only want to use 10 in my quiz, I could use this process.
This will allow you to deliver a different set of questions in a different order to each student.
