Q-Bank is Xorro-Q's bank of questions which is accessed and managed by the Facilitator.  Q-Bank provides a facility for easily storing, organising, finding and sharing questions. 

Q-Bank is used when:

• searching for suitable questions to add to an activity (see Searching for Questions in Q-Bank);
• saving questions which have been used in an activity and which might be used again later (see Saving Questions into Q-Bank);
• importing questions in bulk from other sources (see Importing Questions in bulk into Q-Bank);
• editing questions, singly or in bulk (see Editing Questions within Q-Bank );
• sharing questions with other facilitators either within your institution or globally (see Question Scope in Q-Bank).

A Facilitator can add questions to Q-Bank, keep his or her questions private, or share questions with others either in the institution or globally.  In Q-Bank,  questions can be tagged to make them easier to find.  They can also be organised into categories and folders.  Although questions are usually created from within an Activity, they can then later be selectively added to Q-Bank, and thus organised for later use.  There is a question editor within Q-Bank that allows questions to be edited without placing them into an activity.
