The Question Library is a central repository where you can create, store, and reuse questions within your course. You can organize questions into sections by type or topic, making it easier to locate and reuse them in quizzes, surveys, and self-assessments.
With the Question Library, you can:
- Create and organize questions in one central location
- Reuse questions across quizzes, surveys, and self-assessments
- Import questions from other Brightspace tools or external files
- Manage question settings such as points and difficulty
You can use the Question Library to maintain a consistent set of questions and reduce the time required to build assessments across course offerings.

Tip: Create and manage your questions in the Question Library to keep them organized and easy to reuse across quizzes, surveys, and self-assessments. You can also import questions created in other tools back into the Question Library to keep everything in one place. |
