Problem statement:

When we need to migrate a question bank from one course to another, we can only do so by creating a quiz and migrating it to New Quizzes.

Proposed solution:

It would be quite helpfull if we could only copy a question bank to another course, as we can do with a module or filles, for example.

User role(s):

admin,instructor,ta,designer

Hi @dayane_ketelin  - 

I want to clarify - Are you looking for the ability to move an entire Question Bank from Classic Quizzes to a new course? You're not using New Quizzes yet, it is an important detail as we evaluate the request. Thanks!

Hello @KristinL !

In both cases, either in Classic Quizzes or New Quizzes, we must create a test to migrate the Question Banks.

We do use New Quizzes, but some of the teachers also deal frequently with Classic Quizzes as well.

I've seen we can share a Question Bank with another course in New Quizzes, but it seems to me like a shared bank, and not an independent copy that we could edit and adjust as needed.

Thanks!
