Description

Currently when building an assignment, I can browse questions that are from my current textbook, or search through all questions everywhere. This is unwieldy, (but less unwieldy when the target textbook happens to have a chapter of the same name - going by section would be even better than chapter), and it would be great to constrain my search to another specific textbook.

I could see that feature also helping with question banks for peer instruction and other things, if there was a textbook whose entire purpose was to hold questions.
