Blackboard: Quizzes/Tests
Not using quizzes or tests in Blackboard yet?
Come see how much control you have over how and when a quiz or test is released, how you can randomize questions, and various security settings you can apply.And see how much time you will save.Your multiple choice quizzes will grade themselves, and Blackboard will automatically enter and display test grades and calculate course averages in the Blackboard gradebook for you and your students.You can spend less time on grading and more time on teaching, and your students will appreciate the convenience of being able to access the quiz grades and feedback online.
In this session we will:
· Create a short quiz
· Discuss the settings and feedback options for each question
· Place the quiz in a course content area
· Make the quiz available and modify the test options for the quiz
· Take a look at the gradebook to see students’ scores, add comments, clear an attempt, override a calculated grade
· Take a look at a student’s view of the gradebook
· Briefly discuss advanced quiz and test creation options like importing publisher test banks, creating test pools and using a test creation software by Respondus to import your test questions from MS Word format
Prerequisite: “Blackboard Basics” or experience using Blackboard.
