New Quizzes - create a question group and pick X number to show up on the quiz

In New Quizzes, I would like to be able to select a group of questions from a bank and have the quiz randomly pull a set number of those questions into the quiz. This was a feature of the Classic Quizzes that I really liked.

I do not want to create a whole new bank of questions every time I want to pull in a random set.

Is that feature in the works?

Hello @jocelyn_white Similar to Classic Quizzes, you are able to select a random block of questions from item banks. Here is the guide for "How do I add all items or a random set from an item bank to a quiz in New Quizzes?"

Wanted to pass on that we have a couple of webinars on New Quizzes coming up in a few weeks. You can register for either or both of them.

Thank you for your response. I have already read this guide: "How do I add all items or a random set from an item bank to a quiz in New Quizzes?"

However, this only let's me pull randomly from the entire bank. I do not want to pull randomly from the entire bank. In Classic quizzes, I was able to make a question group from a bank--and pull randomly from that. It is different, and the Classic quizzes way was better as it allowed more flexibility and less work for me.

Now, in New Quizzes, to make this work, I would have to make a small separate Item bank for every group of questions I want, and I do not want to do that.

When will the "question group" feature be added to New Quizzes?

Issues with Discussion Checkpoints
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
Quick Reassess Feature
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1.
