Blackboard: Online Testing PROS/CONS and HOW-TOs
In the first half of this workshop, participants will discuss what they perceive to be the pros and cons related to online testing in both face-to-face and online courses. Some of the benefits of online testing include:
· random selection of questions from pools, potentially creating limitless versions
· 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.
in the Center for Learning and Teaching’s Faculty Development Lab, Gornto 101, and it will be available for participation via live two-way interaction at the Higher Ed Centers.
