Quest Ladder / Shared Library
The Shared Library: built-in and community content
Start from something finished instead of a blank page.
The fastest good question type is one you did not write.
Where it is
The sidebar says Templates; the page is headed Shared Library. They are the same place, and the disagreement is worth knowing when you are looking for it.
It holds two tabs — Question types and Ladders — in two scopes: Built-in, maintained by the platform, and Community, shared by other teachers.
Finding something
Filters narrow it: a search box, Subject, All Categories, All formats, All Levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) and curriculum alignment. Curated Collections groups items somebody has put together deliberately.
Filter by format as well as subject. A good multiple-choice type in a neighbouring subject is often a better starting point than a poor one in yours, because the structure is what you are borrowing.
Use, fork, or import
| Action | What you get |
|---|---|
| Use | The item as it is. Add it to a ladder, assign it, or take one concrete question into your bank. The generator stays on TeachForge and you do not get an authoring copy. |
| Fork | Your own editable copy, where the author allowed it. |
| Import as Ladder Draft | A ladder brought in as a draft you can reshape. |
| Rate | Feedback for the author and the next teacher. |
Using a shared ladder references the catalogue types rather than copying them, so improvements by the author reach you. Forking gives you control and freezes you at today's version. Neither is better; they are different relationships.
The numbers on an adopted question stay fixed, which matters: adopting one concrete question gives you that question, not the generator behind it.
Putting something back
Sharing your own work is covered in Share to Library, author credit and community scope. The short version: it is opt-in, your author credit is optional and never your legal name, and allowing others to build on your work is off by default.
