Adding Question Bank Questions to a Moodle Quiz

Once questions are saved in the question bank, add them to a quiz and arrange them into a deliberate order. This archived walkthrough uses the 2016 Moodle quiz editor.

Before releasing a quiz, preview it as a learner and confirm that the availability dates, time zone, grades, and question order are correct.

Checking Availability

The source quiz is still unavailable because its time-zone settings have not yet been configured. The following section addresses enrolment, quiz timing, and regional settings before a learner attempts the quiz.
