Question Sets vs. Random Blocks

Though both question sets and random blocks deliver questions randomly to students, the two features have distinct differences:

• You can manually choose questions from all tests, surveys, and pools for question sets. Random blocks draw questions from pools only, so you cannot include questions from other tests or surveys.

• You can search questions and browse metadata to create question sets. You cannot search questions or browse metadata when you create random blocks.

• You can delete questions in a question set. The question is removed from the set but not deleted from your course. You cannot delete questions within a random block. If you do not want a question included in your random block, remove it from the pool.
