Adding a Test to Blackboard Ultra
- From your Blackboard Ultra course under the “Content” section, select the purple plus sign to expand the drop-down menu and select “Create” (see image below). NOTE: Document images may be enlarged by clicking them to open in a larger window, then click anywhere in the document to close the expanded view and return to the document.
- Then from the “Create Content” menu option, select “Test” (see image below).
- Give your test a title and select the type(s) of test questions by expanding the purple plus sign icon drop-down menu, and choose the test question type (see image below).
- The image below shows an example of a True/False question. To create a question, enter your question text in the text editing field (1), select the correct answer choice (2), adjust the point settings (3), and save (4).
- Lastly, adjust the test settings by selecting the gear icon in the “Assessment Settings” menu (see image below). Here you can adjust the due date, prohibit late submissions, adjust how the test is presented, select the grade category, adjust the number of attempts, enable Respondus Lockdown Browser and Monitor or SafeAssign, and provide a description. After adjusting the settings, select “Save”.
- Instructors may elect to view the newly created test in a Student Preview (see images below). First, select “Student Preview” in the top right-hand side of the screen, view the test (or other created content) from a student’s perspective, then select “Exit” Student Preview to return to the Instructor role. It is best to select “Discard” changes so that the Student Preview User interaction is not saved to the course.
