Question pools are linked to users rather than sites. Therefore, you need ask the faculty member who owns the question pool to grant you access to their question pool. Also, you must be a Sakai participant with a role that allows creation of assessments.

If you are the faculty member who wants to share their question pool, follow these steps to grant access to another faculty member:

1. Go to the Tests and Quizzes tool from the left menu
   
   
2. Click on the Question Pools tab in the top menu bar of the Tests and Quizzes page
   
   
   
   
3. Click on Share under the question pool you want to share
   
   
   
   
4. Find the name of the faculty member you want to share your question pool with under Site Members without access
   
   
   
   
5. Mark the checkbox next to their name under Grant access
   
   
   
   
6. Click Update

The faculty member you shared your question pool with will now see the pool, with your name as Owner, in their Question Pools list. That faculty member has the option to edit the shared question pool, to copy it to another pool, or to withdraw their shared access. However, that faculty member does not have access to move, share, or delete the shared pool. It’s recommended for that faculty member to copy the question pool to another one, so they fully own the copy and have full access to all options to that copy.

Question pools can’t be exported. However, another approach is creating an assessment containing all questions from the question pool. Then, exporting that assessment.

To create an assessment containing all questions from the question pool, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Tests and Quizzes tool from the left menu
   
   
2. Click on the Add tab in the top menu bar of the Tests and Quizzes page
   
   
   
   
3. Provide any title you wish in Assessment Title field
   
   
   
   
4. Mark the Create using assessment builder checkbox
   
   
   
   
5. Click Create
   
   
   
   
6. In the Add Question dropdown menu, select Copy from Question Pool, and you will be directed to the page listing all questions pools.
   
   
   
   
7. Select the question pool that you want to export
   
   
8. Mark the Select all checkbox
   
   
   
   
9. Click Copy
   
   
   
   

Now, you created a draft assessment that contains all the questions from the question pool. To export that assessment, follow the steps outlined above to export it as a Zip File, IMS QTI-compliant XML file, or Markup text.
