 - If you want to deploy a test (make visible to students) that you have already created in the Test Manager, please follow the steps below. If your Blackboard 5 or 6 course was copied into a Blackboard 7 course and you want to deploy a test that you created in the Blackboard 5 "Assessment Manager, please consult How to Make a Blackboard 5 Quiz Available in Blackboard 6 or 7.
- If you are not already in the Control Panel, click the "Control Panel" link on the navigation frame in your course:
- Then click the "Assignments" link to enter the Assignments section if you want to deploy the test in a folder in that section.
- When the "Assignments" section appears, click the link to the folder where you will deploy the test:
- The "Module One" page will then appear:
- When the "Module One" page appears, click the "Test" icon near the top of the page, as shown in the above image. When the "Add Test" page appears, shown below, you will have two options, either to create a test or to select an existing test. In this case, you will select "Quiz 1" by clicking on that name of the test that you have previously created in the Control Panel "Test Manager." You will then click the "Submit" button:
- You will then receive notice that the test has been added:
- The next page that appears gives you links to two options: to modify the test itself or make the test available. Click the second link to "Modify the test options":
- After you click the "Modify the test options" link, the "Test Options" page will appear, where you will need to complete four sections:
- Test Information
- Test Availability
- Test Feedback
- Test Presentation
In the "Test Information" section, you should accept the default "No" and not launch the test in its own window unless your test contains images or other features that make it too large to be displayed inside the Blackboard course.
- The next step is to set the test availability. Check the option to make the link to the test visible so that students can take the test. If you want students to complete the test in one time period without being able to save the test and return to work on in later, check the "Force Completion" option. If you want the students to complete the test within a set period such as one hour, select the time. Students who exceed the time limit will not receive a grade until you check the test in your gradebook in the "Assessment" section of the Control Panel to determine if the amount exceeded was too much to count the test. If you want the test to be available for only a certain number of days or time within one day, check the "display after" and "display until" boxes and select the days and time. Set a password only if you are certain to remember the password. This option is best used in classroom settings when you do not want students to take the test until you are present in the room or in a lab setting where students are taking tests under supervision.
- In part 3 you will set the type of feedback that students will receive when they complete and submit the test. One option you have is to make only scores available to students until all students have completed the test. Then you can return to this section to modify the test options and make the "detailed results," "correct answers," or "feedback" available so that students will receive more detailed information about their test results.
- In part 4 you will determine the presentation of the test. Choose "all at once" so that students can scroll back and forth in the test to check their answers. Use the "one-at-a-time" option only when you want students to answer a question completely before proceeding without being permitted to check their answers. Be sure to check "randomize" if you want the test question order to be different for each student. Then click the "Submit" button to deploy (make available) the test.
- After you select all options, click the "Submit" button, and you will be returned to the "Modify Test" page. If you then click "OK," you will be returned to the Control Panel, or you can click the link to the course at the top of the page.
