New Feature in Rise 360: Question Banks
Rise 360 just keeps getting better. Today we released a new feature called question banks.
Thanks to question banks, you can now create randomized quizzes in Rise 360 by drawing from a bank of prepared questions. This is especially useful when you want to make sure learners see something different each time they retake a quiz.
With the quiz question bank feature, you can create a set of questions once, and reuse that bank as many times as you want in the same course or even across multiple courses. What a huge timesaver!
You also have the flexibility to use question banks for knowledge check blocks or quizzes—giving you options for how and when you want to check or test a learner’s knowledge.
To create a quiz question bank, click Question Banks and select New Bank.
Give your question bank a name and select Create Question Bank.
From there, create and add questions to the bank just as you would when building a quiz lesson.
And there’s no limit on how many question banks you can create. To help you stay organized, you can organize your question banks into different folders. For example, you could create a folder for each course or topic.
And if you’re an Articulate 360 Teams subscriber, you have even more ways to work together. With question banks, you can easily share question bank folders with other team members to ensure consistency across your organization’s courses. You can even assign different roles to each member—manager, editor, or viewer— depending on the level of access they need.
We think you’re going to love this new Rise 360 quizzing feature and can’t wait to hear what you think!
If a question is added from the bank into a quiz that Developer #1 is working on, and another Developer (#2) edits the question in the bank later to include that question which they changed in their quiz, does it affect the import of Developer #1's question? Rather, is the question imported and the connection with the bank broken at that point, or does it retain connectivity with the bank until it is published?
I would prefer to add a question to the question bank from a lesson. This is usually where I determine the need for a new question - and create it here. It would save me time to add my new question to the bank here and then create the Quiz and use the bank. Looking forward to this update.
Hi, everyone! We just fixed the issue where correct responses weren’t retained when adding a multiple response question to a question bank from a quiz.
To take advantage of this fix, any affected questions will need to be re-added to their question banks.
Please let us know if you run into any further trouble!
This a great addition and look forward to start using question banks. Thank you!
Thanks for the heads up, Anthony! So far our team hasn't been able to recreate this problem, so would you mind sharing a short video of your steps? We really appreciate you bringing this up because these are exactly the kinds of things we want to sort out while this is a beta feature!
I am having the feeling that the question bank can simply not be included into the course in case the questions contain pictures. At least I cannot upload the question bank - it does not stop loading...
Hi Stefanie,
I have had no problems using images in question banks.
Hi - I am having the same problem with the pictures like Anthony. I also do not get the possibility to choose e.g. 6 random question out of 20. It is either all random or specific questions. Am I doing something wrong?
Regards
Steffi
Hi Steffi,
I have no problems adding images, so not sure why you are having issues.
This is the page I see that gives you the option to choose the number of random questions.
Excellent additional feature to Rise looking forward to trying it out!
Great news this awaited feature by many arrived!
Is there a plan to have the possibility to show feedback after each question without revealing the correct answer if user submitted the incorrect one? So far it wasn't possible and without this feature we'll be forced to stay with Storyline quiz embeded as only this set-up gives the learning outcome from the quiz and it's not just a basic test. Thanks for letting me know!
I need this feature also, especially for final assessments.
Great News !!!
only took 4 years ;-)
The question bank feature is great BUT our financial compiance clients are unable to use Rise quizzes as it is not possible to show whether a question is correct or incorrect WITHOUT showing the correct answer. please can you separate these options so you can show can show if a question is incorrect, without showing the correct answer
Thanks
In the quiz block, under quiz settings, there is an option to turn off Reveal Answers
Then, you can go and use the feedback options for each question if you want to let them know it was incorrect without letting them know the correct answer. Hope that helps!
Hey everyone - I’m so delighted to hear your positive remarks about our beta of the question banks feature! I hear that there are ways we can make the quizzing experience in Rise 360 even better, so let me acknowledge those points.
We are tracking requests for:
- Separating the correct answers from question feedback
- Adding images as answer choices in quiz questions, knowledge checks, and the sorting activity
- Adding a sorting question type
- Combining multiple quiz results
Anthony also asked about being able to have both randomly selected questions and anchor questions that learners always experience in a quiz. Question banks makes that possible! You can have multiple draws within a quiz, mixing and matching different question banks and different draw options, random or specific. Check out my Peek 360 screencast for more detail!
Thank you very much, when we insert a draw- from question bank we can choose only one folder to choose questions, can we combine 3 folders for one quiz please ?
Hello! Just wanted to voice that I'm looking for a sorting activity in the question bank in case that request is still being tracked. Something like the Sorting Cards interactive activity that is currently available as a content block within lessons would be perfect.
