What is a Question Pool?

A question pool is a container for questions that you want to use in your surveys. The question pool enables you to create and manage different questions independently of a specific survey and to assign them to different surveys later, if necessary. You can use the question pool as a personal collective folder for your numerous questions.

What can the Question Pool be used for?

Question pools are not used directly for questioning, but for reusing questions. They allow you to create, edit, and manage large numbers of questions. Once created, questions can be reused in different surveys. This saves you time and effort if you want to use the questions you have created in different surveys.

Important note: Besides the ILIAS object "Question Pool for Surveys", there is also the object "Question Pool Test" where only questions for tests can be pooled.
