I have used Respondus for several semesters and have found it to be very helpful and convenient for importing and then transferring questions for quizzes on eLearning. In Respondus, I usually choose the option of using a pool of questions, from which I can create the quiz in eLearning with a designated number of questions that will then be randomly assigned to each student. In this way, students receive a different set of questions. This is especially useful and effective for online quizzes.
