You can build a Question Pool using the Control Panel.

• Open the Control Panel and, under Course Tools, click on Tests, Surveys and Pools.
• In the next screen, click on Pools.
  The screen will display two options: Build Pool and Import Pool.
• Click on Build Pool.
  Enter a name for the pool and any instructions.
• Click on Submit.
  The Pool Canvas has now been successfully created and you can start adding questions via Create Questions, Find Questions and Upload Questions.
  

By creating a Question Pool, you have not yet created a test. You need the Test Manager to do that. The procedure is almost the same as for building a Question Pool.

• Open the Control Panel and click on Tests, Surveys and Pools.
• Click on Build Test.
  You see a screen in which you can enter a name, description and any instructions. Name is an obligatory field.
• Name the test and click on Submit.
  The Test Canvas screen appears. You can now add questions and specify the test options, such as the option to add additional feedback or images to the questions.
• Click on Question Settings.
• Select the options you want to use and click on Submit.

You receive a confirmation message and then return to the Test Canvas screen. You can now add questions to the test in exactly the same way as described above. You can also add questions from other Question Pools you created earlier. In addition, you can create a Random Block with a number of questions randomly picked from the Question Pool (see Adding a random selection from a Question Pool).
