Overview
Use question tracking to:
-
Evaluate questions in certain tests or quizzes by exporting question results.
-
Prevent teachers from changing test or quiz questions or answers after the question is used in a test.
-
Require instructors to use a standard question bank for certain tests or quizzes.
Select Enable Question Tracking when creating a new question bank to track each question in the question bank after they are added to a test or quiz. Tracked questions are assigned an Associated Question ID, linking them to a locked question bank. The ID stays the same across all tests or quizzes so you can analyze question data across courses.
Review questions in the bank for errors. When Enable Question Tracking is enabled for a question bank, the questions will become locked after using it in a test or quiz. You cannot edit questions in the bank or the test or quiz to ensure accurate tracking of questions used in test and quizzes.
Question tracking best practices
-
Advise instructors to use questions from locked question banks only after you've given them permission to use the questions.
-
If you notice a mistake in a locked question, advise the teacher to manually override the grade to the question in the test or quiz where the question is used. Then, create a new version of the question with the correct information.
-
If you mistakenly created a locked question bank, create a new one without selecting Enable Question Tracking. Copy the questions from the locked bank into the new bank.
