BB6 - Blackboard: Quizzes and Surveys

Description

Online quizzes are useful as a study aid, a motivator to read, for instructor assessment of student learning or student self-assessment. This hands-on workshop covers how to create and effectively use online quizzes and surveys within Blackboard. Instructors can view quiz results, grade, and provide student feedback online or set Blackboard to grade and provide feedback automatically. Survey results are automatically compiled - they're a great tool for collecting mid-course feedback, among other uses. To learn about the use of the Assignment Tool, see our new workhop dedicated to that topic: Eliminate Paper/Save Trees: Using the Blackboard Assignment Tool.
