Quiz Builder / Samigo Question Pool Gap Analysis
In MyUCDavis Quiz Builder (QB), questions are stored in a single question pool owned by a single individual. Questions from the pool can optionally be stored in a collection and pulled into a quiz either individually or as a collection. Therefore, questions Questions are stored in a single 'pool' by default and in collections by choice.
Once quizzes are published, the status of a quiz question changes - the question can no longer be modified/edited, although a copy of the question can be generated. Questions can never be deleted. All questions within this structure are contained in a single table and their editable status is based on whether they exist within a 'published' quiz.
In Samigo, questions are stored in relationship to a quiz, a question pool, or both. A question which exists solely in a quiz or a question pool may be 'removed' and is deleted from the database. When a question created in a quiz is stored in a question pool, the original question is shared, so editing it in either the quiz or the pool will reflect the changes in both. If a question is created in a quesion pool, a duplicate is created when it is copied to a quiz, but the original question is used if the quiz generates a random draw.
Once a quiz is published, a duplicate of the question is stored in another table. Duplicates are generated if the quiz does a random drawing from a pool as well. There is some evidence that a random draw quiz with unlimited tries may pull the same questions for an individual as were pulled during his/her firest draw. Published questions can not be edited and modifying the original question has no effect on the duplicate.
