1. This question category is the default category for this particular quiz instance. These questions are only available within the context of this particular quiz.
2. This question category is the default category for this particular course. These questions are available to any quiz within the course.
3. This question category is the default category for this particular course category. These questions are available to any quiz within any course within this course category. (Very useful, if all the courses within a department are organized within the same category).
4. This question category is the default category for any course on the entire site.
Complete General settings for the question.
Scroll down and click "Save changes."
The new question will now appear in the list of available questions.
