=Creating Assessments=

In order to use a test or survey in Blackboard Learn 9.1, you must first create the test and then deploy it in a content area, such as a Learning Module or Content Folder, to make it available to students. Open Learning courses will have all required tests and quizzes created and deployed before the course goes live. On Campus Faculty who had their course copied from Blackboard 8 will have had all assessments copied as well but will need to test all assessments prior to deployment.

On Campus Faculty who need to create a new assessment can follow these instructions.

Carefully review and edit the Test Question Settings. Click ‘Submit’.


===On the Test Canvas, hover your cursor over ‘Create Question’ and choose the type of question you would like to create. This tutorial will cover creating a Multiple Choice question. Not all Settings are shown in this tutorial.===

Confirm the details of the item.

 * Use the yellow bar on the left to move the question. Click a ‘+’ sign to add a question before or after the present question.
 * Change the number of points if desired.
 * Once you have created the assessment and added all your questions, you must deploy it into a content area in your course in order for students to access it.

=Deploy an Assessment=

Make sure that you make the link available so that students can access the test.

 * Check the ‘Force Completion’ checkbox if you want students to complete the assessment in one sitting.
 * Check the ‘Set Timer’ check box and enter the amount of time students are allowed to complete the assessment.
 * Choose ‘ON’ if you want the assessment to save and submit automatically at the end of the allotted time.

Note
If you have selected the ‘Force Completion’ option, and students use the ‘Back’ button in their browser, the exam will be submitted automatically. Please see the ‘Test Presentation’ options (#14) below for more information.

Set the availability dates to control when students will have access to the link to the assessment.

 * If you leave the boxes unchecked, the link will always be available to all users.
 * Click the ‘Password’ checkbox and enter a password if you would like to control access to the assessment with a password.

Determine how the test will be presented.
It is recommended that you present questions all at once to avoid the need for students to use the ‘Back’ button in their browser. See the note in #8, above.
