Assessing student work

Using the Pool Manager

You use the Pool Manager to create and manage question pools.

The Pool Manager displays the following information about question pools:

• Name – The name of the pool.

• Date – The date you created the course (for publisher-provided pools) or the date you created or last modified the pool.

The Pool Manager also provides buttons that let you add, modify, export, import, or remove the pool.

To access the Pool Manager:

1. Click the course name on the My CourseCompass page.

2. Click Control Panel.

3. Click Pool Manager under Assessment.

You create and manage pools the same way you create and manage tests and surveys. Refer to the following topics for more information:
