Description	As the popularity of online learning continues to rise, many educators and instructors are looking for ways to bring their test banks to the digital space. A test bank is a collection of questions and answers used by teachers to assess student knowledge. In the past, test banks were typically stored in physical binders or on individual sheets of paper.
