Creating a Quiz Question Pool
This guide explains how to use a section from the Question Library to have a specified number of questions randomly selected for each student's quiz. For instance, if the folder contains 100 questions, we can set it so that 20 questions will be randomly chosen for each student's quiz.
It is best practice to add questions to the Question Library. If you need help creating a section of questions in the Question Library, please see The Brightspace Question Library.
