A percentage of the questions in eash each users pool my may be garbage, since questions cannot be deleted from the pool once they are created. This means that users who create 'test' questions when learning to use MyUCDavis cannnot cannot get rid of those questions. Some instructors have organized their questions into collections, an optional Quiz Builder tool for grouping and sequencing questions.
...
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 are stored in a single 'pool' by default and in collections by choice.
In Samigo, questions are stored in relationship to a quiz, a question pool, or both.
