The Question API, which can be divided into the [[Question bank API]] and the [[Question engine API]], can be used by activities that want to use questions from the question bank in activities.

At the moment, the Quiz module is the only example of a standard module that does this. (People have been saying wince Moodle 1.6 that the lesson module should be converted to use the question bank!) Also, the documentation is currently in a bit of a mess, but see:
* [[Question Engine 2]], in particular [[Using the question engine from module]]. That is reasonably up-to-date.
* [[Question engine]] is the old documentation that applies to Moodle 1.9 and before. The information there about the question bank half of the question system is still relevant.
