Question Bank Content and Licensing

Version 0.1-draft · Effective 2026-11-07

DRAFT: for review by the Data Protection Officer and school administration.

The question bank belongs to the teachers and the school. To keep it safe to use, please follow these rules whenever you add questions by form or by Excel upload.

1. You confirm the right to use what you add

When you add or upload a question, you confirm that:

you wrote it yourself, or
you have permission to use it (for example, from the author or publisher, or because a license allows it), or
it is free to use (for example, general knowledge, or material the school or department owns).

If you are not sure, do not add it. Ask your Program Head or the school administration.

2. Questions copied from textbooks and other sources

Do not copy questions, exercises, figures or answer keys from textbooks, publishers' test banks, review books, past board exams or websites unless you have permission.
Follow the school's rules on using textbook-based items. [TO CONFIRM: school policy on textbook-based and published questions, e.g. rewrite in your own words, cite the source, or get permission]
Writing a new question that tests the same idea, in your own words and with your own example, is fine.
Pictures you attach to a question must also be yours or free to use.

A question marked department-shared can be used by other teachers of your department. Share only questions you have the right to share. A shared question keeps your name as author in its history.

4. Sample questions

Any sample questions that come with the system, such as the ones in the sample upload file and in the template preview, are general-knowledge examples written for demonstration. They are not taken from a textbook or a published exam. You may delete them and you should not rely on them as real exam content.

5. If there is a problem

If someone says a question in the bank infringes their rights, or you find one that should not be there, the Administrator or Program Head may set it to Retired or remove it while the matter is checked. Report it through the Contact and Support page.

6. Exam content stays confidential

Questions that are used in tests are also confidential. See the Terms of Use.
