·         randomization of questions and answers

·         immediate results and feedback options

·         immediate reporting options

·         item analysis on demand

·         less time spent on grading

·         flexibility with time and location

Participants will also address challenging issues, proctoring, alternate methods of assessment, and resources available for support and help at the university.

In the second half of this workshop, participants will conduct hands-on activities in Blackboard related to creating, deploying, grading, and analyzing online tests.

The workshop will take place on Wednesday, March 23 from 1:30-3:30pm and Thursday, March 24 from 10:00am-noon.
