Is there a way to have the "instructions" entered when setting up a Pool appear with every question added to the pool when they are pulled into a Blackboard test? I have a language instructor who wants to add an audio file within the "instructions" field of a Pool show up with every question in the pool when they show in the Blackboard test. Thank you.

Hi! Thank you for this video. Please help me with something I am struggling to figure out on BlackBoard. How can a test thus created using a Question Set, be exported to another section of the course? I want the random questions to be random there as well. Please help.

Hello, I'm glad you found this video helpful. To answer your question, you have to export your test pool and the actual test in question to the other course. If you only export the test and import that to the new section, it won't be able to reference the questions from the test bank in the original course. Hope that helps...

Hi! Actually when you export the test created using Q Sets, it gets imported with all the question options. So a basic export and import works fine. I have not done with a pre-made Pool, but I am assuming it will work like that as well. I hope people reading this might find some use. Thank you!
