Categories allow instructors to manage and organize questions into groups. Questions created in question bank categories can be randomized and/or reused in quizzes throughout your course and in your other courses.

Each question bank has a default "Top" category in which all questions are added. As the instructor, you do have the option of creating new categories to organize your questions to meet your needs. 

Follow the steps below to add a new category:

1. From your main course page, click on the More icon in the top menu bar, then from the drop down select Question banks

   
   

2. On the Question banks page, select the question bank you want to add a category to (or select the Add button to first create a question bank in the course).
   
3. Within the selected question bank, use the drop-down menu at the top right and choose Categories.

   
   

4.  Click the red Add category button
   

   
   

5. Select the Parent category in which you would like to add this new questions bank from the Parent category dropdown (your category will sit within this selected category).

   
   

6.  Add the category name and the description and click on Add category.
   
   Have a look at Adding questions into categories for how to slot the questions in the categories you've just created.
