Creating tests in Blackboard can allow students to take quizzes and exams in online courses or outside valuable classroom time in face to face courses. You can create your own unique question sets or upload publisher test pools if they are available.

Tips for Blackboard Testing

Use the Test tool as learning modules, set up automatic graded assignments that have unlimited trys for higher points to allow students to review material repeatedly that they will need later in the course. Autograded questions: multiple choice, true/false, matching, hot spot, and ordering.

When deploying the test select timed and/or other options that guide the students to review material ahead of time. 

For proctored online testing contact eLearning to learn about the RPNow Online Proctoring tool available.

To create more equitable and accessible online tests please use the autograded questions. Some screenreading software have difficultly with fill in the blank, essay and short answer questions at this time (Oct 2017).
