Using the Question Library

Brightspace Content is Getting Upgraded

Beginning with the Fall 2027 semester, Brightspace courses will begin using the New Content Experience by default. Additionally, Instructors now have the ability to enable or disable the New Content Experience in their own courses ahead of the change in Fall 2027. For more information about this transition, see our New Content Experience Transition page.

In this guide you’ll learn how to use the Question Library. Once you have populated the Question Library, you can re-use those questions in other quizzes. This guide explains how to access the library, organize it, and Import existing quiz questions. You are also able to create questions within the library, using the same instructions you would use to create questions within a quiz.
