How to Create Questions for Question Bank

This tutorial explains the detailed process of adding and configuring new questions into the "Question Bank" of an e-learning platform, making them ready to be compiled into online exams later. It covers how to categorize questions by subject, class, and difficulty level. The video then breaks down the four distinct question types supported by the system (Single Choice, Multiple Choice, True/False, and Descriptive) and demonstrates how to input the text and identify the correct answers for each. Finally, it shows how to manage the question bank by previewing, editing, and sorting the saved questions.

2. Main Points:

* Accessing the Module: Navigating to "Online Exams", selecting "Question Bank", and clicking "Add Questions".

* Question Categorization: Every question must be assigned to a specific Subject, Class, Section, and Difficulty Level (Easy, Medium, Hard).

* Four Question Types:

* Single correct answer (Radio button style).

* Multiple correct answers (Checkbox style).

* True or False.

* Descriptive (Essay/Short Answer questions like "Explain" or "Mention").

* Managing the Bank: Saved questions appear in a comprehensive list where teachers can sort them by difficulty, preview how they look to students, or edit their contents.

3. Practical Steps, Examples, & Data:

* Single Choice Questions: Type the question text in the first field, then provide the possible answer options. The system requires a minimum of 2 options and a maximum of 5. Conclude by explicitly selecting the one correct option [00:01:46 - 00:02:17].

* Multiple Choice Questions: The setup is identical to single choice, with the only difference being that the teacher can select more than one correct answer before saving [02:30].

* True/False Questions: Input the statement in the first box, then simply choose whether the correct answer is "True" or "False" [02:59].

* Descriptive Questions: For open-ended questions, the teacher only needs to type the prompt/question text and hit save, as there are no pre-defined correct options to select (these are graded manually) [03:13].

4. Actionable Plan:

* Initiate Question Creation: Go to the "Online Exams" menu, open the "Question Bank", and click the "Add Questions" button.

* Set Question Metadata: Select the relevant Subject, Class, and Section from the drop-downs. Then, classify the question's difficulty (Easy, Medium, or Hard).

* Format the Question:

* For Multiple Choice (Single/Multiple): Type your question, enter 2 to 5 possible choices, and mark the correct answer(s).

* For True/False: Type the statement and mark either True or False as the answer.

* For Descriptive: Type the essay prompt or question and leave it as is.

* Save: Click the "Save" button to deposit the question into the bank.

* Review and Edit: Return to the main Question Bank list to view your entries. You can click the column headers to sort by difficulty, click the "Preview" icon to verify the layout, or use the "Edit" button if you need to update the text or change the designated correct answer.
