Pools of test questions are used to create a collection of questions. Pools group questions so that they can be imported and exported. Pools are also used to create Random Blocks and Question Sets for use in tests and surveys. This tutorial will show you how to build a pool, set details, and add questions to it.

Create a unique test for each student by adding a random block of questions. Random blocks pull a set of questions from one or more question pools into your test. Each student's test will pull a selection of questions from the pool at random as the test is presented. Using random blocks is one way to prevent cheating because students will not take the same test. This video was created by Blackboard, Inc.
