How do I create a quiz question pool on Talon?

This guide shows you how to create a folder of quiz questions in the Question Library and use it to randomly pull questions into a quiz for each student.


For example, if you have 100 questions in a folder, the quiz can randomly choose 20 questions for each student.


There are two main steps:


  • Step 1: Create a Section (folder) in the Question Library.

  • Step 2: Create a Question Pool in the quiz to pull questions from that section.

  2. Click the Question Library tab.

  1. Name the section with a unique name you can identify later. Select options as needed to “Hide Section Text from learners”, “Shuffle questions in this section”. Then select “Save”.

  1. Click the New button and select the first question type you’d like to add from the drop-down menu. After creating and saving the question, repeat this process to add additional questions to the section.
