[New Quizzes] SubFolders for Item Banks

[nathan_blackner]

PLEASE develop folders and subfolders within question banks so questions can be organized for easier access in quiz creation.  If a teacher chooses to develop a quiz with a selected number of questions randomly being chosen from several different question banks, it becomes very difficult to filter through the hundreds of question banks created, especially when canvas lumps all questions banks from all courses together in the quiz creation.  For example it would be nice if a teacher could create a folder for each unit and within that folder have subfolders for M.C., fill in blank, Graph interpretation, essay etc.  Right now you have to create a different question bank for each question type, point value and subject area.  Teaching 4 different subjects creates hundreds of banks and becomes chaotic really fast.  It is like trying to save everything on your desktop and then be expected to go find one document in the thousands of items.  Folders with subfolder capability is only logical to file questions in a bank.  Please make this needed addition this summer!!

Problem statement:

My 'Item Bank' is becoming a nightmare to scroll through. Adding enough banks to design an effective test really takes up space and makes scrolling through them to find applicable banks cumbersome and time-consuming.

Proposed solution:

Please allow for the addition of something like folders that we can label and assign different banks to. For example, if there were 10 tests in a year and say 100 different banks, it becomes a nightmare scrolling through them all. It would be so much easier to have a folder for each test, 10 in this case, where we could place all applicable banks. This would allow for quick and easy management of each test's or quiz's questions without the overwhelming scroll. Thanks!

Problem statement:

Better way of organizing the quiz bank. Being able to to create folders and subfolders to organize the quiz bank.

Proposed solution:

Create the ability to have folders and subfolders within the quiz bank. This is like putting all of your files in your document section of your computer, but without folders. It becomes cumbersome to find anything. Something so that I can create: Class/subject area --> Unit --> Chapter --> type of assessment (homework, lab, test, quiz, etc) --> then the individual quiz banks.
