After creating a new assignment through the question bank you will need to add questions. Select a source to draw your questions from, but remember for question pooling you cannot use multi-part questions or survey questions.
Select the questions (A) you would like to add to the pool. Click add checked questions (B) and then select add to a pool (C).
When the pop up appears, name your pool something specific (A), for example, Chapter 2 Exam pool 1. Next, configure your pool by selecting the number of questions (B) from which the pool can draw. You can also set the value of each question (C) in your pool. To save your question pool, click add to pool (D).
Connect will notify you that you’ve successfully added questions to a pool and bring you back to the add questions page. Now you want to create another pool to draw questions from. The questions that you’ve already selected will have a black flag (A) next to them. Select the next set of questions (B), click add checked questions (C) and select add to a pool (D) again.
The add questions to pool module will pop up again. Select create a new pool (A) and name your second pool (B) slightly differently, for example, Chapter 2 Exam pool 2. Select the number of questions to draw (C) and set the point value (D). To save your second question pool, click add to pool (E) just as before.
Click the organize assignment (A) tab and select the question pools (B) from which your assignment will draw. Click continue (C) to move on to the review & assignment page.

Best Practices:
- Create a question pool for quizzing, exams, or whenever randomization is needed (i.e., to prevent cheating or provide new question sets for practice)
- NOTE: Some questions are more time-consuming than others. Be aware of this as you develop assignments for your students
