       Blackboard Quiz Generator

       A simpler, faster way to create Blackboard quizzes and tests!

The ProblemThe Solution
To create a Blackboard test you have to click multiple buttons and fill out multiple forms for each question. It is a tedious and unnecessarily time-consuming process for most quizzes. Fill out one form using a simple markup technique and get the quiz generated for you

Example

I want to create a multiple-choice series of questions. I type:
1. What was the first name of the Bloom who invented Bloom's Taxonomy?
a. Harold
b. Alan
*c. Benjamin
d. David

2. Can Puerto Ricans who are U.S. citizens vote for president?
a. Yes
b. No
*c. Yes, if they live in another state

3. In addition to multiple choice, what other question formats does this work with?
*a. Multiple Answer
*b. Matching
*c. True-False
*d. Essay
*e. Fill in the blank
*f. Ordering
etc. Asterisk indicate correct answers. Notice that #3 has all the items with asterisks (because they're all right). More than one asterisk is all that's required to create a multiple answer format question (where there's more than one answer).

After you submit the form, you get a file generated for you that will import into Blackboard using the Pool Manager (available with Blackboard v4 and v5, but not at Blackboard.com). After that, creating a quiz is a couple of clicks in the Assessment Manager.
