Blackboard includes a robust testing feature. It is a flexible feature, so you can use tests as an assessment, and as a teaching tool.
Blackboard enables you to add several kinds of questions to your tests. You can also add media and descriptive pages. You can control the page breaks in a test, and create several kinds of feedback. All of these features are covered in this chapter. You could complete these steps in a different order. For example, you could create questions first, create the test, and then add the questions to the test. The process here is a common and easily understood method.
In this chapter, you will learn about the following:
Creating a blank test
Creating new questions
Organizing questions into question pools
Adding random blocks of questions to a test
Adding question sets to a test
Determining when to use random blocks, rather than question sets
