Last Update a day ago
1. On your course page, click on the More link.
2. Click on the Question bank option.
3. On the Question bank page, click on the Questions drop-down.
4. Select Categories from the drop-down menu.
The Edit categories page opens.
5. Click on the Add category button.
6. In the Add a category pop-up, select a Parent category or set to Top.
Note: A parent category determines where the new category is located within the question bank. Select Top to create the category at the highest level, without a parent category.
7. Type a descriptive name in the Name textbox.
Note: Consistent naming is particularly important when managing large question banks. We recommend using a consistent naming structure that identifies relevant information such as level, skill, and topic.
Examples:
- CLB4 Reading Banking
- CLB1 Vocabulary Employment
- Intro Grammar - Past Tense
8. If needed, enter additional information in the Category info field. This can help instructors identify and reuse the category in the future.
9. Click the Add category button to complete the process.
Note: The new category appears in the category list under its selected parent category. The number in parentheses indicates the number of questions currently in the category. For example, (2) indicates that the category contains two questions.
