The question bank contains five columns:
- CHECKBOX: When the checkbox is selected the "BULK ACTIONS" feature, located to the right of the "NEW QUESTION" box on the bottom righthand, is activated and allows you to either add the question to another course or share it with another instructor.
- QUESTION TITLE: Is the title given to the question during the import process, when creating a new question, or when editing the question title of an existing question.
- TYPE: Is the question type. Each question is assigned a question type when the question is created, either during the import process or when creating a new question.
- BLOOM'S LEVEL: During the import process, we assign each question a level based on Bloom's taxonomy. This provides the instructor with valuable insight into both the quality and nature of each question.
- INTEGRITY: During the import process, we scan the internet to see if your questions has been leaked online. If we identify your question, a chip will appear in red called "Vulnerable". If the question is not found, the chip will appear as "Scanned".
- ACTION: The three-dot menu in the action allows you to either duplicate the question or remove it from the course.

To use questions that you have previously created all you need to do is import the questions into EXAMIND. For example, if you already created questions in your LMS (e.g., Canvas, Blackboard, etc.) or in a Word Document you can easily import them into EXAMIND.
How to Reuse Questions and Assessments
If you want to reuse your existing questions or assessments within EXAMIND you can copy them to a new course. This is common when you are teaching multiple sections of the same course or starting a new term and want to copy material from your previous course into a new course.
