Quiz Question Bank
OVERVIEW
In Pluto LMS, the question bank is a powerful feature that allows educators to create, store, and manage a collection of questions for use in quizzes, exams, and other assessments. The question bank serves as a centralized repository where you can create, organize, and categorize different types of questions, making it easier to reuse them across multiple courses or assessments.
Overall, Pluto's question bank is a comprehensive tool that empowers educators to create and manage a diverse range of assessment questions efficiently. It enhances the flexibility, reusability, and organization of questions, thereby streamlining the assessment process within LMS-based courses.
