Question Library

The Question Library is an online repository that stores and archives questions which can be reused within a Brightspace site. Create multiple collections within the Question Library to organize questions by type and topic, making it easier to locate questions for quizzes, surveys, and self-assessments. It is recommended to create and manage all questions in the Question Library as this allows for a smoother experience creating assessments (quizzes, assignments, surveys).
