[New Quizzes] Allow outcomes to be aligned with item banks

[leward]

Problem statement:

In Classic quizzes, it was possible to align one or more outcomes with a question bank. In New Quizzes, outcomes be aligned with the entire quiz or individual questions, not banks. So, now, if I have a large item bank that tests for mastery of a specific skill or knowledge, I have to align the questions one at a time, which is very labor intensive.

Proposed solution:

I can imagine two possible solutions and ideally I would like to see both implemented. 1. Allow item banks to be aligned with one or more outcomes. This provides parity with Classic quizzes and offers an efficient solution for instructors who create items banks designed to test for mastery of specific knowledge/skills. 2. Allow bulk outcomes alignment of both quiz and item questions. For this solution, the user would be able to view a compact list of questions in the quiz or bank with a checkbox next to each (with an option the expand collapse any question as needed). After checking the boxes of the questions to be aligned with the same set of outcomes, the user would be prompted to select the desired outcomes, confirm and then submit to complete the alignment process.

Yes please. I use item banks to make multiple versions of a single question (different values for a math problem for instance), and am annoyed that outcomes can’t be aligned to the bank as a whole.

A related issue is having an option for the quiz analysis to be averaged for an item bank.

We concur. This feature is important.

Problem statement:

Adding outcomes to individual questions within an item bank can be tedious, especially if all the questions are aligned to the same outcomes.

Proposed solution:

We are using Item Banks with New Quizzes for major programmatic exams. It would be beneficial to be able to add outcomes to an item bank and have those pull through to the questions when they appear on an exam. This would streamline the process of adding outcomes to questions.
