Experts in the science of teaching and learning advocate the use of retrieval practice, essentially frequent testing, during and outside of class time.  Retrieval practice can be easily implemented with a course management system like Moodle.  However, question banks from commercial publishers incur a significant cost for students and typically require concurrent adoption of a specific textbook.  The presenter has developed a comprehensive database of questions for introductory and physical chemistry that are freely downloadable from a Moodle course site.  Strategies for effective utilization in regular and flipped classes will be discussed.   Tools to facilitate collaborative expansion of the database will also be presented.<br/>
