00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:06.750
Going to use maybe in quizzes and tests,
2
00:00:06.750 --> 00:00:08.250
you don't have to use pools.
3
00:00:08.250 --> 00:00:10.890
You can just build a number of tests
4
00:00:10.890 --> 00:00:13.440
and have them as you wish.
5
00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:16.500
But if you have sometimes people from textbooks
6
00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:21.000
have banks of questions that can put them in pools.
7
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.940
And the other reason why you might want to use pools
8
00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:26.880
is if you're giving a test that has
9
00:00:27.870 --> 00:00:32.630
where you have the desire to let students take the test
10
00:00:32.630 --> 00:00:36.020
but each have a slightly different version of it.
11
00:00:36.020 --> 00:00:38.300
So for instance say,
12
00:00:38.300 --> 00:00:42.360
I have a series of 10 questions
13
00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:46.150
about a certain chapter in the textbook
14
00:00:46.150 --> 00:00:51.150
and I want students to get three of those questions
15
00:00:51.350 --> 00:00:55.130
but they can randomize within that block of 10 questions.
16
00:00:55.130 --> 00:00:58.530
So, you know,
17
00:00:58.530 --> 00:00:59.950
Patrick might get
18
00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:03.450
question you know A, B and C,
19
00:01:03.450 --> 00:01:07.570
whereas someone else Jane might get
20
00:01:07.570 --> 00:01:11.230
question C, H and
21
00:01:11.230 --> 00:01:12.700
you know, what I mean,
22
00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:15.030
I should have used numbers, but anyway,
23
00:01:15.030 --> 00:01:16.923
I'm going past 10, yikes.
24
00:01:19.810 --> 00:01:20.810
My point is that
25
00:01:20.810 --> 00:01:23.303
within a block of questions on a topic,
26
00:01:24.810 --> 00:01:28.997
you can decide everybody will get a slightly different
27
00:01:28.997 --> 00:01:30.380
and it is randomized.
28
00:01:30.380 --> 00:01:33.180
So some of them could accidentally get the same.
29
00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:36.100
Some could just get completely different ones
30
00:01:36.100 --> 00:01:38.070
or get some the same.
31
00:01:38.070 --> 00:01:41.160
It's Blackboard will just distribute it automatically
32
00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:43.320
when students start the test
33
00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:47.060
and you use a pool and a question set for that.
34
00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:49.960
So you can say, I want to pull into my test
35
00:01:49.960 --> 00:01:52.500
these 10 questions from a pool
36
00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:54.140
and I want students to get
37
00:01:55.950 --> 00:01:58.200
three on this chapter
38
00:01:58.200 --> 00:01:59.470
and then you're gonna do the same thing
39
00:01:59.470 --> 00:02:01.410
with the next chapter in the next chapter.
40
00:02:01.410 --> 00:02:03.450
And so maybe as they're taking the test
41
00:02:03.450 --> 00:02:06.570
they don't know that their friends have different questions.
42
00:02:06.570 --> 00:02:09.590
So it makes it a little harder for them to collude
43
00:02:09.590 --> 00:02:12.393
if they should want to do that.
44
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.800
So pools are just question
45
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.110
banks really.
46
00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:23.220
And sometimes nobody ever uses the pool.
47
00:02:23.220 --> 00:02:25.790
When you click on test,
48
00:02:25.790 --> 00:02:28.410
by the way, surveys are very much like tests,
49
00:02:28.410 --> 00:02:30.890
except for there's no grading
50
00:02:32.010 --> 00:02:33.510
on students
51
00:02:33.510 --> 00:02:36.060
you can't tell what they answered,
52
00:02:36.060 --> 00:02:39.103
you can only see that there's a check mark that they did it.
53
00:02:40.770 --> 00:02:42.700
So that's for a whole different purpose
54
00:02:42.700 --> 00:02:44.970
than what we're going to talk about.
55
00:02:44.970 --> 00:02:46.953
Do you have any questions so far?
56
00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:53.830
Okay, go ahead.
57
00:02:53.830 --> 00:02:56.280
I actually have one Ines.
58
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:57.170
So
59
00:02:58.180 --> 00:03:00.693
I have existing paper tests.
60
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.010
Would a pool be a good place
61
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.800
to put all of the existing tests for a particular course
62
00:03:12.980 --> 00:03:14.590
and then construct
63
00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:19.750
a midterm and a second test
64
00:03:19.750 --> 00:03:23.430
based on the material you covered that semester?
65
00:03:23.430 --> 00:03:26.803
Yeah. You can do that, but paper tests,
66
00:03:28.340 --> 00:03:29.173
excuse me.
67
00:03:30.290 --> 00:03:33.570
I'm assuming that you have them in a digital file,
68
00:03:33.570 --> 00:03:34.477
like a word document.
69
00:03:34.477 --> 00:03:35.310
Yes.
70
00:03:35.310 --> 00:03:36.650
Okay, yep.
71
00:03:36.650 --> 00:03:41.190
And so one of the things that I hope to get to
72
00:03:41.190 --> 00:03:42.680
is that
73
00:03:43.900 --> 00:03:46.390
there are a couple of tools
74
00:03:46.390 --> 00:03:49.210
out on the internet that I can show you.
75
00:03:49.210 --> 00:03:50.740
Well, I'll show you one of them
76
00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:55.079
where you can format your word document questions
77
00:03:55.079 --> 00:03:57.620
in a very particular precise,
78
00:03:57.620 --> 00:03:59.940
exacting model
79
00:03:59.940 --> 00:04:03.780
that they require and you put them into this tool,
80
00:04:03.780 --> 00:04:06.630
it's a little field where you paste your questions
81
00:04:06.630 --> 00:04:08.720
and then you can generate
82
00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:11.780
a file that Blackboard can read.
83
00:04:11.780 --> 00:04:16.780
So the work comes into making sure your formatting is right
84
00:04:17.290 --> 00:04:19.500
you know, and I can explain all of that
85
00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:22.690
but then once you do it's magical.
86
00:04:22.690 --> 00:04:26.650
It just puts a file that you can then pull into Blackboard
87
00:04:26.650 --> 00:04:29.163
and create pools or tests with them.
88
00:04:30.090 --> 00:04:31.430
Okay. Thank you.
89
00:04:31.430 --> 00:04:32.263
Yes,
90
00:04:34.710 --> 00:04:37.783
Justin Schimmel, can you remind me when this ends?
91
00:04:38.650 --> 00:04:40.898
I wanna make sure I.
92
00:04:40.898 --> 00:04:42.373
It will end end at 10:00.
93
00:04:42.373 --> 00:04:43.713
10:00, okay, all right.
94
00:04:46.490 --> 00:04:48.480
So I have a number of tests
95
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.940
in my test area
96
00:04:52.940 --> 00:04:57.150
and they're just all different experiments.
97
00:04:57.150 --> 00:04:59.380
And you can see over here in this column
98
00:04:59.380 --> 00:05:01.240
are any of them deployed?
99
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.500
Meaning can students in my class take them,
100
00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:07.780
there's one that is deployed.
101
00:05:07.780 --> 00:05:08.990
And it says where
102
00:05:11.540 --> 00:05:13.530
I made a folder
103
00:05:13.530 --> 00:05:15.290
up here in my course materials
104
00:05:17.820 --> 00:05:20.280
and I put this to just a fake,
105
00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:22.280
it's just a few questions but
106
00:05:22.280 --> 00:05:25.700
I put a test here first
107
00:05:25.700 --> 00:05:27.020
for the so-called students,
108
00:05:27.020 --> 00:05:29.620
it's just a sandbox courses
109
00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:30.910
we call it for us to play in.
110
00:05:30.910 --> 00:05:32.670
And although my only students
111
00:05:32.670 --> 00:05:34.340
are my colleagues that never log in.
112
00:05:34.340 --> 00:05:36.490
So I do have,
113
00:05:36.490 --> 00:05:37.820
you know, in Blackboard,
114
00:05:37.820 --> 00:05:40.670
I don't know if anybody is aware of this
115
00:05:40.670 --> 00:05:44.060
but you can make your own student account
116
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.433
so that at any time you can log in as a student,
117
00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:52.520
well, it's not really logging in.
118
00:05:52.520 --> 00:05:56.400
You simply click this button over here per student preview
119
00:05:56.400 --> 00:05:59.520
and it puts you into this new mode
120
00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:01.860
called student preview mode
121
00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:06.760
and then interesting that I can still see my control panel.
122
00:06:06.760 --> 00:06:07.760
That shouldn't be there
123
00:06:07.760 --> 00:06:10.740
but let me just refresh for a second.
124
00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:11.690
Okay, that's weird.
125
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.200
Usually you don't see this
126
00:06:15.200 --> 00:06:18.340
but it allows you to go in and try things out.
127
00:06:18.340 --> 00:06:23.080
Now, bear in mind that when you put up a test in your course
128
00:06:23.080 --> 00:06:25.440
if you go in as a student,
129
00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:29.570
a fake student to take the test and answer the questions,
130
00:06:29.570 --> 00:06:32.730
you do have to make it available.
131
00:06:32.730 --> 00:06:37.500
And if you have students already in your class
132
00:06:37.500 --> 00:06:38.860
they can see it,
133
00:06:38.860 --> 00:06:40.940
but you can always turn
134
00:06:40.940 --> 00:06:42.670
your course off for a little while
135
00:06:42.670 --> 00:06:45.870
and I'm gonna ask is, does anybody remember how
136
00:06:45.870 --> 00:06:49.300
or not remember how to turn your course
137
00:06:49.300 --> 00:06:52.223
basically to open it and close it to students?
138
00:06:54.130 --> 00:06:57.380
When you start out your course isn't available
139
00:06:57.380 --> 00:07:00.420
then right beforehand, you have to make it available.
140
00:07:00.420 --> 00:07:02.470
So if anybody just raise your hand,
141
00:07:02.470 --> 00:07:04.963
if you want to refresh her and doing that.
142
00:07:06.430 --> 00:07:07.890
But the student preview mode,
143
00:07:07.890 --> 00:07:09.623
I'm just gonna exit it now.
144
00:07:10.670 --> 00:07:13.323
Go back to where the tests are.
145
00:07:14.740 --> 00:07:16.950
So down here, under course tools
146
00:07:16.950 --> 00:07:19.803
test surveys and pools and tests.
147
00:07:21.140 --> 00:07:24.620
So if I want to start to build a new test
148
00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:27.510
what I would do is I click build test,
149
00:07:27.510 --> 00:07:30.940
and first window I just have to give it a name.
150
00:07:30.940 --> 00:07:33.950
So I'm gonna give it a name of
151
00:07:36.313 --> 00:07:37.146
AA
152
00:07:38.740 --> 00:07:42.363
only so it floats to the top of my long list.
153
00:07:44.032 --> 00:07:45.253
I'm showing,
154
00:07:53.110 --> 00:07:56.380
and all I'm doing right now is just naming it
155
00:07:56.380 --> 00:08:01.233
and then shows you that now you're on this Canvas.
156
00:08:02.950 --> 00:08:05.976
And so that Canvas is basically a blank Canvas
157
00:08:05.976 --> 00:08:08.920
where you can start to build your questions.
158
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:10.950
And there are different ways,
159
00:08:10.950 --> 00:08:13.360
different types of questions you can create,
160
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.430
and also different ways of doing it.
161
00:08:16.430 --> 00:08:19.700
Mainly if you did them one by one manually
162
00:08:19.700 --> 00:08:21.870
you would go over here or say,
163
00:08:21.870 --> 00:08:24.220
you have a bunch of questions on your test already,
164
00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:26.330
but you want to add one more.
165
00:08:26.330 --> 00:08:28.177
You just go here to create question
166
00:08:28.177 --> 00:08:30.770
and you can choose the question type
167
00:08:30.770 --> 00:08:33.280
and then you can see this list.
168
00:08:33.280 --> 00:08:38.280
I'm gonna zoom in just a little bit on my screen.
169
00:08:42.970 --> 00:08:44.600
Most common often,
170
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.270
I mean, generally speaking is multiple choice.
171
00:08:47.270 --> 00:08:49.560
So I'm gonna try that.
172
00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:52.023
So it's saying create multiple choice question.
173
00:08:54.460 --> 00:08:56.670
Now in anything in Blackboard
174
00:08:56.670 --> 00:08:58.640
that the little orange asterisk
175
00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:01.300
indicates that it's a required field.
176
00:09:01.300 --> 00:09:02.600
And you'll notice that the title
177
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:05.160
isn't really required that's because
178
00:09:05.160 --> 00:09:09.860
in Blackboard the question itself is the better way
179
00:09:09.860 --> 00:09:12.800
to just find your questions later
180
00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:14.430
is to just look at the question
181
00:09:14.430 --> 00:09:16.670
rather than trying to name the question.
182
00:09:16.670 --> 00:09:18.930
And that would, this is just for your own purposes
183
00:09:18.930 --> 00:09:20.507
but you don't need to do it.
184
00:09:20.507 --> 00:09:21.826
The students wouldn't see it.
185
00:09:21.826 --> 00:09:25.470
So the question texts could be something like
186
00:09:25.470 --> 00:09:29.663
who is the current president of US?
187
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.940
Okay, so I'm putting my question
188
00:09:34.940 --> 00:09:37.800
in the debt question text box
189
00:09:37.800 --> 00:09:41.630
then I scroll down and I can see these different options.
190
00:09:41.630 --> 00:09:44.290
Do I want to have the answers numbered?
191
00:09:44.290 --> 00:09:45.123
Yeah, sure.
192
00:09:45.123 --> 00:09:50.123
I'll put them as lowercase letters,
193
00:09:50.180 --> 00:09:51.210
whatever I choose.
194
00:09:51.210 --> 00:09:52.420
I like vertical
195
00:09:54.610 --> 00:09:57.050
and I'm not allowing partial credit.
196
00:09:57.050 --> 00:09:58.930
Yeah, sure, I'd like to show
197
00:09:58.930 --> 00:10:00.760
the answers in random order.
198
00:10:00.760 --> 00:10:01.593
That means,
199
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:05.780
if I'm taking the test
200
00:10:07.099 --> 00:10:10.893
and my friend and I are both looking at the same question,
201
00:10:12.221 --> 00:10:16.470
if I just say it's answer A and they put in A
202
00:10:16.470 --> 00:10:18.840
their answer A is gonna be different from my answer A.
203
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:20.890
It's just jumbling the answers.
204
00:10:20.890 --> 00:10:24.230
So again, makes collusion a little more,
205
00:10:24.230 --> 00:10:26.530
it's a little bit of a detriment there.
206
00:10:26.530 --> 00:10:30.870
So you notice that this answer one has,
207
00:10:30.870 --> 00:10:33.303
is highlighted here where it says, correct.
208
00:10:34.230 --> 00:10:36.960
And this is where you can edit
209
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:38.900
and remove your different answers.
210
00:10:38.900 --> 00:10:41.503
Answer two is not highlighted.
211
00:10:46.062 --> 00:10:47.587
If I didn't want to randomize,
212
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:50.850
I would have to go in here
213
00:10:50.850 --> 00:10:55.850
and make sure that when I put in my answers
214
00:10:56.800 --> 00:11:00.090
that I do put the correct one in the right place.
215
00:11:00.090 --> 00:11:02.400
So say this first one
216
00:11:24.020 --> 00:11:25.400
I can then remember to,
217
00:11:25.400 --> 00:11:28.800
I have to click that because that is the correct one
218
00:11:28.800 --> 00:11:31.550
and the other ones are now incorrect.
219
00:11:31.550 --> 00:11:32.623
And I could say,
220
00:11:34.580 --> 00:11:36.710
okay, so I've got four answers
221
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.210
and you don't have to only have four answers.
222
00:11:40.210 --> 00:11:42.530
You can change that number up here
223
00:11:42.530 --> 00:11:44.710
to goodness gracious is,
224
00:11:44.710 --> 00:11:46.600
you can keep on going forever,
225
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:49.590
but four is what the default is
226
00:11:49.590 --> 00:11:50.990
and you can just go ahead and change it
227
00:11:50.990 --> 00:11:53.343
if you prefer three or five or something.
228
00:11:54.560 --> 00:11:55.683
So now I have,
229
00:11:56.940 --> 00:12:00.140
manually I'd have to randomize
230
00:12:00.140 --> 00:12:03.000
where the correct one is on every question
231
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:06.050
but if I just always put the correct one
232
00:12:06.050 --> 00:12:09.840
in the top and left it highlighted
233
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.830
and chose randomized
234
00:12:11.830 --> 00:12:13.320
then I wouldn't have to worry about that.
235
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:14.890
If you know what I'm talking about,
236
00:12:14.890 --> 00:12:15.830
I can still do that
237
00:12:15.830 --> 00:12:18.480
but it was just randomized them for people.
238
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.520
So let me pause for a second and say
239
00:12:25.070 --> 00:12:28.740
does anything that I just said seem confusing
240
00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:30.103
because I feel like
241
00:12:30.103 --> 00:12:33.180
I might've been a little confusing sounding just that.
242
00:12:34.153 --> 00:12:38.123
You know, as we do have a couple of questions.
243
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:42.500
First one is a little bit more broad.
244
00:12:42.500 --> 00:12:44.800
Is the test Canvas a special way
245
00:12:44.800 --> 00:12:47.970
of entering the formation of a test
246
00:12:47.970 --> 00:12:52.373
or is it the same as ordinary create test?
247
00:12:56.810 --> 00:12:57.643
It isn't
248
00:12:57.643 --> 00:13:00.840
It's the only place where you can put in the questions.
249
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.940
It's just like first you name the test
250
00:13:03.940 --> 00:13:05.470
and then when you're done naming it
251
00:13:05.470 --> 00:13:07.320
it takes you to this Canvas
252
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.070
and all it is is the place where questions are created
253
00:13:11.070 --> 00:13:12.770
and or are pulled in
254
00:13:12.770 --> 00:13:13.740
and there are different ways,
255
00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:16.380
but it's every test only has one Canvas
256
00:13:16.380 --> 00:13:19.793
and all of them have a Canvas, it isn't special,
257
00:13:20.710 --> 00:13:24.270
but it's the place where you build questions.
258
00:13:24.270 --> 00:13:25.563
Does that make sense?
259
00:13:26.560 --> 00:13:29.000
And then there's one more.
260
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:32.210
Is there a way to make it default to five answers?
261
00:13:32.210 --> 00:13:33.750
In the past, I've had to change
262
00:13:33.750 --> 00:13:35.960
the dropdown from four to five answers
263
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.142
for every single question I create.
264
00:13:38.142 --> 00:13:39.680
Oh, that's a pain.
265
00:13:39.680 --> 00:13:43.950
Let me see, you know, it may or may not remember
266
00:13:43.950 --> 00:13:47.133
but I'll put in a fifth answer here.
267
00:13:50.827 --> 00:13:52.690
I said, Justin Schimmel
268
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:01.190
If I were taking this test,
269
00:14:01.190 --> 00:14:02.903
I would choose that, right Justin?
270
00:14:03.750 --> 00:14:05.510
All right, so that's my first question.
271
00:14:05.510 --> 00:14:07.500
Now I can just click submit
272
00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:09.943
and create another and let's see what happens.
273
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.737
And now I'm on the next one.
274
00:14:18.820 --> 00:14:21.920
I see what you're saying, that's the pain.
275
00:14:21.920 --> 00:14:24.620
Sometimes if you go up,
276
00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:26.420
I'm not sure if this will work,
277
00:14:26.420 --> 00:14:30.580
but let me just clicks cancel
278
00:14:30.580 --> 00:14:33.203
cause I just have one question right now.
279
00:14:34.300 --> 00:14:36.600
So I canceled making a new one
280
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:38.490
but I wanna look at question settings
281
00:14:38.490 --> 00:14:43.490
and see if there's something there that I can change.
282
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.463
Nope, not seeing that.
283
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.160
But while we're on the settings page,
284
00:15:00.160 --> 00:15:02.740
if images are something that you use
285
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.733
and you want students to.
286
00:15:11.330 --> 00:15:13.700
If you want students to be able to add images
287
00:15:13.700 --> 00:15:16.180
and files to their answers
288
00:15:16.180 --> 00:15:20.500
you can click that individual feedback is
289
00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:22.230
yeah, I doubt anybody does that.
290
00:15:22.230 --> 00:15:25.430
But individual feedback means when you're grading it
291
00:15:26.973 --> 00:15:29.090
you could write feedback
292
00:15:29.090 --> 00:15:29.923
to the student
293
00:15:29.923 --> 00:15:31.523
on every single question.
294
00:15:32.560 --> 00:15:35.040
And that checkbox would say
295
00:15:35.040 --> 00:15:36.980
you can also upload an image to it
296
00:15:36.980 --> 00:15:40.360
but nobody does all of that, that I know of
297
00:15:42.400 --> 00:15:44.730
but it's available.
298
00:15:44.730 --> 00:15:47.333
And again, if anything that I'm,
299
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:50.070
I know there's a lot here
300
00:15:50.070 --> 00:15:53.820
and so bear in mind that,
301
00:15:53.820 --> 00:15:54.653
you know,
302
00:15:54.653 --> 00:15:56.850
these tools aren't like easy,
303
00:15:56.850 --> 00:15:58.940
this is like a demo.
304
00:15:58.940 --> 00:16:01.890
And when you go to build it, you might feel like
305
00:16:01.890 --> 00:16:04.720
you are still uncertain and have a lot of questions
306
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.937
and of course, contact the CTL and we'll work with you
307
00:16:07.937 --> 00:16:09.280
and we can make appointments
308
00:16:09.280 --> 00:16:10.670
and walk you through it
309
00:16:10.670 --> 00:16:12.640
but this is just like a a demo
310
00:16:12.640 --> 00:16:15.720
to get you familiar with basically how it works.
311
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:18.210
And you can either take off with it
312
00:16:18.210 --> 00:16:23.050
or you can set up an appointment for more guidance.
313
00:16:23.050 --> 00:16:26.400
So I have my one question on this test.
314
00:16:26.400 --> 00:16:28.000
And over here, you'll notice that
315
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.403
it's just then automatically given 10 points.
316
00:16:32.620 --> 00:16:37.250
And I may or may not want all my questions to be 10 points
317
00:16:37.250 --> 00:16:39.260
but I could go ahead and build up
318
00:16:39.260 --> 00:16:41.120
a whole bunch of questions,
319
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.040
just ignoring the points for now.
320
00:16:44.040 --> 00:16:45.770
And then afterwards, I can say
321
00:16:45.770 --> 00:16:49.230
I want all my questions to be worth two points.
322
00:16:49.230 --> 00:16:50.770
So what I would do is
323
00:16:52.640 --> 00:16:55.320
go over here to select all,
324
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:57.073
like I could just select,
325
00:16:57.073 --> 00:16:58.700
I only have one question
326
00:16:58.700 --> 00:17:01.300
that means it's selected right now.
327
00:17:01.300 --> 00:17:03.380
But if I say select all,
328
00:17:03.380 --> 00:17:05.053
we'll select my whole list.
329
00:17:06.244 --> 00:17:07.940
And then I can say points
330
00:17:09.533 --> 00:17:12.250
I'll make every question be worth two points
331
00:17:12.250 --> 00:17:13.393
and then update.
332
00:17:14.990 --> 00:17:17.317
And now I have two over here
333
00:17:17.317 --> 00:17:20.130
and it would apply to all questions that I have.
334
00:17:20.130 --> 00:17:21.380
And then if there was one
335
00:17:21.380 --> 00:17:24.070
that I wanted to be worth more
336
00:17:24.070 --> 00:17:26.710
like except for that one question,
337
00:17:26.710 --> 00:17:28.470
which is an essay
338
00:17:28.470 --> 00:17:30.700
maybe I wanna make that be worth 10
339
00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:33.710
and then I can go scroll down and see them all.
340
00:17:33.710 --> 00:17:36.087
And let me show you what a test with more questions
341
00:17:36.087 --> 00:17:37.283
and it looks like,
342
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:40.300
but I can individually change points
343
00:17:40.300 --> 00:17:41.660
on any question
344
00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:46.070
after changing the bulk of them by doing select all.
345
00:17:46.070 --> 00:17:49.180
So I'm gonna go back to tests.
346
00:17:49.180 --> 00:17:51.373
It shows my list of all of my tests.
347
00:18:03.054 --> 00:18:05.721
I'm not sure what's in this one,
348
00:18:07.780 --> 00:18:09.203
13 questions.
349
00:18:10.050 --> 00:18:11.530
Oh look, that's a theme,
350
00:18:11.530 --> 00:18:13.600
but this is the first president.
351
00:18:13.600 --> 00:18:18.563
So you'll notice that the default is 10 here on the points
352
00:18:19.600 --> 00:18:24.330
and I have multiple answer questions in some cases
353
00:18:24.330 --> 00:18:26.960
where students can select
354
00:18:28.430 --> 00:18:30.060
one of these would be correct.
355
00:18:30.060 --> 00:18:33.240
And hopefully they would choose all of them
356
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.913
which they couldn't do in a multiple answer question.
357
00:18:39.370 --> 00:18:42.823
And I'm also, I've got a true or false question.
358
00:18:44.570 --> 00:18:47.640
If you have interest in another question type
359
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:49.420
just give a shout out right now
360
00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:51.530
and I can show you what it looks like
361
00:18:51.530 --> 00:18:54.233
to build something other than multiple choice.
362
00:18:58.170 --> 00:19:00.723
And again, these are the question types.
363
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.073
So I'm not hearing from anybody but.
364
00:19:14.420 --> 00:19:16.310
Once all your questions are created
365
00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:22.530
right now this says it's a total of 130 points.
366
00:19:22.530 --> 00:19:26.760
Really Blackboard will grade this up based on a percentage.
367
00:19:26.760 --> 00:19:29.950
So if somebody gets all of them correct
368
00:19:29.950 --> 00:19:32.010
they get 100 on the test.
369
00:19:32.010 --> 00:19:35.270
It doesn't really matter what the points are
370
00:19:35.270 --> 00:19:37.250
but what is valuable about the points,
371
00:19:37.250 --> 00:19:39.540
If I say select all
372
00:19:39.540 --> 00:19:43.260
and I go ahead and change the points to two,
373
00:19:43.260 --> 00:19:44.563
and then I update it.
374
00:19:46.004 --> 00:19:48.570
And now they're all two, you can see over here.
375
00:19:48.570 --> 00:19:51.400
And then maybe I wanna take one of them.
376
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.923
Do I have an essay question here? Maybe not.
377
00:19:57.800 --> 00:20:01.240
So let's say I want this one to be worth five.
378
00:20:04.100 --> 00:20:06.660
Then I just enter a five and I click submit.
379
00:20:06.660 --> 00:20:09.140
So everything else is worth two.
380
00:20:09.140 --> 00:20:11.690
And then let's just see what our points add up to 29.
381
00:20:11.690 --> 00:20:14.580
So it's a little odd, but it doesn't matter
382
00:20:14.580 --> 00:20:17.960
cause Blackboard will still say they got all 29 right,
383
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.183
they got 100 on it and it will figure it out for you.
384
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:24.833
Now,
385
00:20:26.360 --> 00:20:28.033
questions so far.
386
00:20:30.310 --> 00:20:31.903
Does anybody want to take?
387
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:33.800
Ines.
388
00:20:33.800 --> 00:20:35.330
Yeah, sure, go ahead.
389
00:20:35.330 --> 00:20:38.760
I just wanted to know if there was a recommendation
390
00:20:38.760 --> 00:20:41.530
from CTL about
391
00:20:41.530 --> 00:20:43.860
how many questions
392
00:20:43.860 --> 00:20:48.793
are suitable for a 50 minute versus a 75 minute class.
393
00:20:49.800 --> 00:20:53.120
I'm just sort of thinking about this logistically
394
00:20:53.120 --> 00:20:54.973
they will do this on their own.
395
00:20:58.779 --> 00:21:00.090
So you give them the time,
396
00:21:00.090 --> 00:21:03.053
you make it available for that time.
397
00:21:04.950 --> 00:21:09.010
I have a pretty good sense of how to do this in class
398
00:21:11.170 --> 00:21:14.870
and how many questions are about right,
399
00:21:14.870 --> 00:21:17.460
for a certain period of time,
400
00:21:17.460 --> 00:21:19.900
but not having done this electronically
401
00:21:19.900 --> 00:21:21.963
I'm less sure of that.
402
00:21:21.963 --> 00:21:23.450
Less sure about that.
403
00:21:23.450 --> 00:21:25.000
Well, what I would say is
404
00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:28.803
whatever time you would give in class,
405
00:21:29.850 --> 00:21:34.010
add maybe 15 minutes or something,
406
00:21:34.010 --> 00:21:36.853
just in case there were problems.
407
00:21:38.840 --> 00:21:41.500
If normally your class,
408
00:21:41.500 --> 00:21:43.050
if people come in and sit down
409
00:21:43.050 --> 00:21:45.350
and they take an hour to do a test,
410
00:21:45.350 --> 00:21:47.520
you could think of it the same way.
411
00:21:47.520 --> 00:21:48.980
It's a 60 minute test,
412
00:21:48.980 --> 00:21:51.510
but just add on 10 minutes or something
413
00:21:51.510 --> 00:21:55.800
to give them a little extra time
414
00:21:55.800 --> 00:21:57.250
in case they have problem,
415
00:21:57.250 --> 00:22:00.000
they have to restart their computer or something.
416
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.053
But it's not different really.
417
00:22:04.090 --> 00:22:05.053
I don't think,
418
00:22:06.420 --> 00:22:09.240
but we don't have a necessarily a recommendation
419
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:11.170
for the number of questions, no,
420
00:22:11.170 --> 00:22:13.057
that'd be based on your content
421
00:22:13.057 --> 00:22:14.770
and the kinds of questions, of course.
422
00:22:14.770 --> 00:22:17.963
If they essays, they're gonna take longer, so.
423
00:22:18.980 --> 00:22:22.283
I might ask some colleagues what their experiences.
424
00:22:23.370 --> 00:22:25.950
Do you have an estimate of how many people on campus
425
00:22:25.950 --> 00:22:27.723
are using Blackboard testing?
426
00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:30.620
Is it widespread?
427
00:22:30.620 --> 00:22:32.330
Yes, it's widespread.
428
00:22:32.330 --> 00:22:35.480
And you know, on the CTL website
429
00:22:37.450 --> 00:22:42.450
we have a link to our CTL faculty associates.
430
00:22:42.650 --> 00:22:46.410
We have a whole bunch of faculty
431
00:22:46.410 --> 00:22:50.490
who are working part time for the CTL,
432
00:22:50.490 --> 00:22:55.490
and they are available for consults
433
00:22:57.240 --> 00:22:58.840
about all kinds of things
434
00:23:00.850 --> 00:23:03.070
Down here at this, so this is the homepage.
435
00:23:03.070 --> 00:23:05.350
If we go to new faculty associates
436
00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:09.650
it takes you to this list of everybody
437
00:23:09.650 --> 00:23:11.970
and kind of what they're doing.
438
00:23:11.970 --> 00:23:16.970
And you can choose one of them to, you know, contact
439
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:21.490
they're all available for consults.
440
00:23:21.490 --> 00:23:25.770
And so the student are well socialized
441
00:23:25.770 --> 00:23:27.980
into this format already.
442
00:23:27.980 --> 00:23:29.910
You don't really have to talk to them
443
00:23:29.910 --> 00:23:31.830
about how to do this, or?
444
00:23:31.830 --> 00:23:34.520
I mean it's possible that you could have students
445
00:23:34.520 --> 00:23:38.540
that somehow randomly I've just never encountered it
446
00:23:38.540 --> 00:23:40.830
because they've only had teachers that didn't use it.
447
00:23:40.830 --> 00:23:43.170
But for the most part,
448
00:23:43.170 --> 00:23:47.670
people you have been using it even before the pandemic
449
00:23:47.670 --> 00:23:52.070
but especially after a lot of people are using it.
450
00:23:52.070 --> 00:23:56.950
So I would, and students aren't,
451
00:23:56.950 --> 00:23:59.450
you know, it's not very hard when to log in
452
00:23:59.450 --> 00:24:01.510
and take a test in Blackboard.
453
00:24:01.510 --> 00:24:03.143
It's pretty intuitive,
454
00:24:04.750 --> 00:24:09.750
but I'm gonna move on to the deploying part now,
455
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:12.680
unless there are any other questions
456
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:15.603
so that I can show you how to set up your test.
457
00:24:18.470 --> 00:24:22.053
And the other thing I wanted to, excuse me,
458
00:24:25.380 --> 00:24:30.380
show you is if you go to the UVM knowledge base
459
00:24:30.570 --> 00:24:32.250
and the address is up here
460
00:24:32.250 --> 00:24:37.250
it's uvm.edu/it/KB for knowledge base,
461
00:24:43.100 --> 00:24:47.023
it is also linked all over the place from our website.
462
00:24:48.140 --> 00:24:51.620
We write the articles are related to Blackboard.
463
00:24:51.620 --> 00:24:56.230
So they're basically what used to be the CTL, how to page.
464
00:24:56.230 --> 00:25:00.350
We moved everything here to have it all centrally located.
465
00:25:00.350 --> 00:25:02.570
If I just put it in the search term test
466
00:25:04.350 --> 00:25:08.930
it's got a good search capability
467
00:25:08.930 --> 00:25:11.343
and I'm just gonna click tests and surveys.
468
00:25:12.230 --> 00:25:17.230
And on this page, you can see a table of contents over here.
469
00:25:18.310 --> 00:25:23.310
And you can just to go over some of these things.
470
00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:25.880
If you have a test from another course
471
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:27.330
that you want to import
472
00:25:27.330 --> 00:25:30.730
like maybe a different faculty member or anything,
473
00:25:30.730 --> 00:25:32.020
someone can share a test with you.
474
00:25:32.020 --> 00:25:34.603
You can just import an entire test,
475
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:39.870
excuse me, I'm gonna mute for a second.
476
00:25:45.830 --> 00:25:46.663
All right.
477
00:25:48.550 --> 00:25:50.490
And you can create a new test
478
00:25:50.490 --> 00:25:51.780
this just different directions
479
00:25:51.780 --> 00:25:53.830
but the big one right here
480
00:25:53.830 --> 00:25:55.933
is imported from a word document.
481
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:04.400
And basically it says that the information,
482
00:26:06.118 --> 00:26:09.100
those converters that I was talking about
483
00:26:09.100 --> 00:26:10.823
are linked on this page.
484
00:26:13.780 --> 00:26:17.130
And so importing test questions for the Word document
485
00:26:17.130 --> 00:26:19.380
and there are these two tools.
486
00:26:19.380 --> 00:26:24.100
And I recommend the Oklahoma Christian University one
487
00:26:24.100 --> 00:26:28.570
because somebody had a problem with this one recently.
488
00:26:28.570 --> 00:26:30.060
I didn't find a problem with it,
489
00:26:30.060 --> 00:26:31.830
but they're both a little different
490
00:26:31.830 --> 00:26:34.670
in what they require for formatting.
491
00:26:34.670 --> 00:26:35.817
And I'll just click on it
492
00:26:35.817 --> 00:26:37.470
and it takes you to their website,
493
00:26:37.470 --> 00:26:38.963
but anyone can use this.
494
00:26:40.560 --> 00:26:45.030
And it has some basic information.
495
00:26:45.030 --> 00:26:47.980
It's also got this little help question here
496
00:26:47.980 --> 00:26:52.470
for detailed instructions, like how to build questions
497
00:26:52.470 --> 00:26:56.130
which I'm not gonna go into too deeply right there
498
00:26:56.130 --> 00:26:59.070
but you can create a sample question here
499
00:26:59.070 --> 00:27:01.560
by choosing the question type.
500
00:27:01.560 --> 00:27:04.153
These are the only types this generator will make.
501
00:27:05.030 --> 00:27:06.330
And you can say, okay
502
00:27:06.330 --> 00:27:09.430
just create a multiple choice question.
503
00:27:09.430 --> 00:27:12.600
So which of the following is a prime number?
504
00:27:12.600 --> 00:27:14.030
and you'll notice that
505
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.023
I'm gonna zoom in a little so it's easier to see.
506
00:27:22.080 --> 00:27:24.720
The first question number is just,
507
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:26.800
everything is flush left all the way.
508
00:27:26.800 --> 00:27:29.570
There are no indents, there are no spaces.
509
00:27:29.570 --> 00:27:30.770
You have a number,
510
00:27:30.770 --> 00:27:33.810
everything has to be numbered, 1, 2, 3, every question.
511
00:27:33.810 --> 00:27:37.070
And then there's a number, period, space.
512
00:27:37.070 --> 00:27:38.900
Your question on one line.
513
00:27:38.900 --> 00:27:41.660
I mean the question can be long enough
514
00:27:41.660 --> 00:27:42.840
to be a whole paragraph
515
00:27:42.840 --> 00:27:44.990
but you can't like hit return
516
00:27:44.990 --> 00:27:48.060
and make a different line and make it complicated.
517
00:27:48.060 --> 00:27:51.720
Everything has to be sort of in one block.
518
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:56.410
And then the answers follow
519
00:27:56.410 --> 00:27:59.530
with the correct answer being
520
00:27:59.530 --> 00:28:01.710
with the asterisk in front of it.
521
00:28:01.710 --> 00:28:05.923
And they have to have a parentheses right after it.
522
00:28:08.450 --> 00:28:11.750
So that's the multiple choice.
523
00:28:11.750 --> 00:28:12.880
And if I click it again
524
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:15.330
it's just gonna create another one
525
00:28:15.330 --> 00:28:18.710
but it shows you that now there's a space.
526
00:28:18.710 --> 00:28:20.730
I'm gonna change that to two.
527
00:28:20.730 --> 00:28:24.130
And there's one space between questions.
528
00:28:24.130 --> 00:28:25.560
Everything is flush left.
529
00:28:25.560 --> 00:28:28.520
If I choose multiple answer
530
00:28:28.520 --> 00:28:31.433
I could say, okay, oops, it jumps down.
531
00:28:32.410 --> 00:28:36.700
And so I couldn't change that
532
00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:39.660
to question number three, blah, blah, blah.
533
00:28:39.660 --> 00:28:41.550
Everything's flush left,
534
00:28:41.550 --> 00:28:44.400
asterisks in front of the correct ones.
535
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:49.370
When I'm all done, say these are my own questions
536
00:28:49.370 --> 00:28:51.230
that I brought in from Word.
537
00:28:51.230 --> 00:28:55.530
And I recommend actually doing it in word first
538
00:28:55.530 --> 00:28:56.930
before you paste them in here.
539
00:28:56.930 --> 00:28:59.070
So you're in your Word document
540
00:28:59.070 --> 00:29:00.910
and you do this editing where
541
00:29:01.900 --> 00:29:06.210
there are no spaces between the answers.
542
00:29:06.210 --> 00:29:07.960
Everything is flush left.
543
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.610
You arrange this, make sure you've only got one space.
544
00:29:11.610 --> 00:29:14.430
Now watch what happens if I make an extra space there
545
00:29:15.490 --> 00:29:19.590
and then I say, generate test questions.
546
00:29:19.590 --> 00:29:21.670
It might throw an error.
547
00:29:21.670 --> 00:29:22.580
Oh it didn't.
548
00:29:22.580 --> 00:29:24.930
So that seems okay.
549
00:29:24.930 --> 00:29:26.543
What if I did something like,
550
00:29:28.610 --> 00:29:31.450
so basically it's giving me a green light.
551
00:29:31.450 --> 00:29:32.283
Everything's green.
552
00:29:32.283 --> 00:29:35.490
If there was a problem with one of these,
553
00:29:35.490 --> 00:29:37.330
I wonder if I can go back.
554
00:29:37.330 --> 00:29:39.880
Yes. So how could I make a problem?
555
00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:43.350
Say, my first one doesn't have a correct answer on it.
556
00:29:43.350 --> 00:29:45.730
Now, if I go ahead and generate them
557
00:29:47.280 --> 00:29:48.410
you can see you have red.
558
00:29:48.410 --> 00:29:50.200
One of them is a problem
559
00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:52.663
and you have to look at it and then correct it.
560
00:29:55.270 --> 00:29:58.460
So these are just examples to show you how to
561
00:29:58.460 --> 00:30:00.913
but then you can paste in your own.
562
00:30:02.310 --> 00:30:06.810
And once you're done, you can say generate test questions.
563
00:30:06.810 --> 00:30:08.980
They should all be green now. Okay.
564
00:30:08.980 --> 00:30:11.670
So they're all green, looking good.
565
00:30:11.670 --> 00:30:14.140
Now you say, you download it.
566
00:30:14.140 --> 00:30:16.010
You can either download it as a pool
567
00:30:16.010 --> 00:30:18.220
which you can upload into your pools,
568
00:30:18.220 --> 00:30:21.370
or you can just download it this way,
569
00:30:21.370 --> 00:30:23.540
it's downloading here.
570
00:30:23.540 --> 00:30:28.540
And it is blackboardquiz.txt that I've downloaded.
571
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:33.000
I just have things dropped into my text box,
572
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:34.393
I mean, onto my desktop.
573
00:30:35.670 --> 00:30:37.530
Text box, I don't know where that came from.
574
00:30:37.530 --> 00:30:38.450
But anyway,
575
00:30:38.450 --> 00:30:43.070
let's say I'm looking at this exam one,
576
00:30:43.070 --> 00:30:45.480
I wanna add those questions to it.
577
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:47.673
Let's say, upload questions.
578
00:30:49.690 --> 00:30:51.610
Or I could just give this on a blank Canvas,
579
00:30:51.610 --> 00:30:54.430
I don't need to be adding them to a new one.
580
00:30:54.430 --> 00:30:56.090
I'm gonna browse.
581
00:30:56.090 --> 00:30:57.463
Look at my desktop,
582
00:30:58.590 --> 00:30:59.550
there it is
583
00:31:03.040 --> 00:31:04.063
and then submit.
584
00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:09.443
And then, let's see if they're added to the bottom here.
585
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:17.890
Yes, so I have two of the identical ones,
586
00:31:17.890 --> 00:31:20.830
one you know, multiple answer.
587
00:31:20.830 --> 00:31:23.610
So notice they came in with 10 points.
588
00:31:23.610 --> 00:31:26.190
So you have to be careful, you know,
589
00:31:26.190 --> 00:31:27.040
as you're building your test
590
00:31:27.040 --> 00:31:31.190
to make sure your points are correct.
591
00:31:31.190 --> 00:31:32.150
And then you can look up here
592
00:31:32.150 --> 00:31:35.470
and say yes I have 16 questions.
593
00:31:35.470 --> 00:31:38.190
The other thing you can do when you like,
594
00:31:38.190 --> 00:31:40.020
and again you can consult with us
595
00:31:40.020 --> 00:31:41.280
more about doing this
596
00:31:41.280 --> 00:31:42.960
and read about it on the knowledge base
597
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:45.950
but you can create questions sets
598
00:31:45.950 --> 00:31:48.380
which allow you to either
599
00:31:48.380 --> 00:31:49.610
when you're doing your,
600
00:31:49.610 --> 00:31:51.970
say you've given quizzes every week
601
00:31:51.970 --> 00:31:53.830
and they're in Blackboard
602
00:31:53.830 --> 00:31:56.400
and a quiz is the same thing as a test,
603
00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:58.280
it's just lower stakes.
604
00:31:58.280 --> 00:32:00.180
And so you can call them quizzes.
605
00:32:00.180 --> 00:32:02.200
You can have all your quizzes
606
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:04.010
in Blackboard with the date and quiz.
607
00:32:04.010 --> 00:32:09.010
And then, you can make a final exam
608
00:32:11.140 --> 00:32:14.690
which could draw a few questions from each quiz
609
00:32:16.227 --> 00:32:18.600
and add your own extra ones.
610
00:32:18.600 --> 00:32:20.543
But if you did want to do that,
611
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.670
I would say you would go to reuse question,
612
00:32:24.670 --> 00:32:26.850
create a question set
613
00:32:26.850 --> 00:32:27.980
and then you could say,
614
00:32:27.980 --> 00:32:29.950
look at some of my old tests
615
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:32.900
that I've already given.
616
00:32:32.900 --> 00:32:35.980
I wanna get some questions
617
00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:40.143
from these different chapters.
618
00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:44.930
Notice they're kind of ordered late
619
00:32:44.930 --> 00:32:47.610
because it's doing this.
620
00:32:47.610 --> 00:32:51.960
Did sort of numeric things, one is, 1 and 1,1.
621
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:54.823
So anyway, so then I want chapter 2, chapter 3.
622
00:32:56.020 --> 00:32:59.543
I want some questions from all of those,
623
00:33:00.490 --> 00:33:05.490
I'm going to, maybe I'll just make it one chapter.
624
00:33:08.570 --> 00:33:11.840
Shows you what questions you've chosen
625
00:33:11.840 --> 00:33:14.383
for that bank of questions that you had.
626
00:33:16.570 --> 00:33:21.570
And you can say you're adding them basically.
627
00:33:24.850 --> 00:33:25.683
What does it say?
628
00:33:25.683 --> 00:33:26.790
They're calling it the cart
629
00:33:26.790 --> 00:33:29.513
like a shopping cart or something.
630
00:33:29.513 --> 00:33:32.190
You're getting all of these questions.
631
00:33:32.190 --> 00:33:37.190
And if you look on page 2, they're not selected
632
00:33:37.900 --> 00:33:39.593
so you have to select those.
633
00:33:40.550 --> 00:33:42.840
So they should both, now they're all selected
634
00:33:43.730 --> 00:33:46.883
and click submit.
635
00:33:47.890 --> 00:33:49.520
But it's a question set,
636
00:33:49.520 --> 00:33:53.200
so I came down to the very bottom
637
00:33:55.130 --> 00:33:59.470
and here it is, the question set.
638
00:33:59.470 --> 00:34:00.730
I could have renamed it
639
00:34:00.730 --> 00:34:04.020
to be called chapter 1 question set
640
00:34:04.020 --> 00:34:08.340
and there are 33 questions in that whole block
641
00:34:08.340 --> 00:34:11.933
but I only want students to see five.
642
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:15.680
So I can change that number
643
00:34:15.680 --> 00:34:18.620
by going here and clicking five.
644
00:34:18.620 --> 00:34:20.910
So when students take this test,
645
00:34:20.910 --> 00:34:24.120
they're gonna get five questions from chapter 1.
646
00:34:24.120 --> 00:34:26.070
And I should have named that chapter 1
647
00:34:26.070 --> 00:34:27.763
to make it easy to identify.
648
00:34:29.980 --> 00:34:33.340
And then you can do that with every single chapter
649
00:34:33.340 --> 00:34:35.430
and say I want five from chapter 2,
650
00:34:35.430 --> 00:34:37.360
I want five from chapter 3
651
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:39.610
and keep adding questions sets
652
00:34:39.610 --> 00:34:44.610
so that students will then randomly get any five
653
00:34:44.690 --> 00:34:47.200
from whatever you put in your cart.
654
00:34:47.200 --> 00:34:48.320
You don't have to put all of them,
655
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:50.493
you can just select the ones you want.
656
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:54.890
And this shows you, which questions are in there.
657
00:34:54.890 --> 00:34:58.720
And if you don't want some of them afterwards,
658
00:34:58.720 --> 00:35:01.973
you can just click here and say, remove those.
659
00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:04.850
I'll do one.
660
00:35:04.850 --> 00:35:09.490
So now you'll see that it goes from 33 to 31.
661
00:35:09.490 --> 00:35:14.490
And so this is how you can modify the randomness
662
00:35:16.785 --> 00:35:19.140
of what students are seeing when they take tests.
663
00:35:19.140 --> 00:35:22.700
But anyway, I don't digress because that's important
664
00:35:22.700 --> 00:35:26.490
but I wanted to show you now how to deploy your test.
665
00:35:26.490 --> 00:35:30.360
So I'm going to go to, and in this case,
666
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:33.080
I just throwing everything in course materials.
667
00:35:33.080 --> 00:35:35.900
You can make a content area
668
00:35:35.900 --> 00:35:38.593
to turn my toggle, to edit mode on.
669
00:35:40.250 --> 00:35:43.750
You can add a content area if you want
670
00:35:43.750 --> 00:35:47.140
and call it exams and submit.
671
00:35:51.220 --> 00:35:52.300
And it's down here.
672
00:35:52.300 --> 00:35:54.820
And I would like it actually
673
00:35:54.820 --> 00:35:56.430
not be at the bottom of my list
674
00:35:56.430 --> 00:36:00.390
but instead, maybe right there under tools
675
00:36:01.330 --> 00:36:04.497
and the other like active tools in Blackboard
676
00:36:04.497 --> 00:36:07.650
and the rest of these are more resources
677
00:36:07.650 --> 00:36:08.950
although that is more of a tool.
678
00:36:08.950 --> 00:36:09.783
But anyway,
679
00:36:11.040 --> 00:36:13.740
so I go to exams
680
00:36:14.700 --> 00:36:17.450
and it's an empty content area.
681
00:36:17.450 --> 00:36:21.253
I go to assessments and I choose test.
682
00:36:22.640 --> 00:36:26.150
And which test here is asking me do I want
683
00:36:26.150 --> 00:36:27.810
from all of my tests,
684
00:36:27.810 --> 00:36:31.743
I'm gonna say exam one and click submit.
685
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:37.960
And this test options page I wanted to,
686
00:36:38.420 --> 00:36:42.230
this is the important series of questions
687
00:36:42.230 --> 00:36:47.230
that you answer that decide how all kinds of features
688
00:36:47.540 --> 00:36:49.730
of students taking this test.
689
00:36:49.730 --> 00:36:51.293
Does someone have a question?
690
00:36:56.720 --> 00:36:59.450
I'm going to go back to that knowledge based article
691
00:37:01.540 --> 00:37:02.590
and show you
692
00:37:06.283 --> 00:37:09.470
when to go to, I bookmarked the knowledge based
693
00:37:09.470 --> 00:37:12.400
on my toolbar up here,
694
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:16.610
you can, whoops, put a Blackboard
695
00:37:16.610 --> 00:37:18.490
tests and surveys.
696
00:37:18.490 --> 00:37:23.490
And over here you can see deploy the test.
697
00:37:23.660 --> 00:37:25.150
So step one is important.
698
00:37:25.150 --> 00:37:27.470
Create a test and add questions.
699
00:37:27.470 --> 00:37:28.883
Step two is deploy it.
700
00:37:29.720 --> 00:37:34.720
And so I want to show you
701
00:37:35.980 --> 00:37:40.070
this page here, is a page I did up.
702
00:37:40.070 --> 00:37:44.327
It's an image that shows the exact same window,
703
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:50.980
that this is the active Blackboard window
704
00:37:50.980 --> 00:37:53.240
for test options that I can change.
705
00:37:53.240 --> 00:37:56.810
This is an image that I made that shows
706
00:37:56.810 --> 00:38:00.513
what we recommend you choosing on these options.
707
00:38:01.720 --> 00:38:05.850
So as we go through this, I'll explain.
708
00:38:10.648 --> 00:38:12.740
You do need a name for the test.
709
00:38:12.740 --> 00:38:14.540
You can change it there if you want.
710
00:38:15.710 --> 00:38:20.580
You do not need to have a content link description.
711
00:38:20.580 --> 00:38:21.737
Students will see exam one
712
00:38:21.737 --> 00:38:22.940
and they'll just click on it,
713
00:38:22.940 --> 00:38:24.440
you don't need to describe it.
714
00:38:25.350 --> 00:38:28.570
Open test in new window that is up to you.
715
00:38:28.570 --> 00:38:32.780
And it doesn't really matter.
716
00:38:32.780 --> 00:38:34.740
It's just maybe a little cleaner
717
00:38:34.740 --> 00:38:37.120
than it within the Blackboard window
718
00:38:37.120 --> 00:38:39.220
with a menu there and everything.
719
00:38:39.220 --> 00:38:43.640
So I can choose yes
720
00:38:44.540 --> 00:38:46.850
but that's not that important.
721
00:38:46.850 --> 00:38:48.240
Make it available to students
722
00:38:48.240 --> 00:38:50.950
is really important right now.
723
00:38:50.950 --> 00:38:54.310
It's just gonna be not available no matter what we do.
724
00:38:54.310 --> 00:38:57.220
So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to click yes,
725
00:38:57.220 --> 00:39:02.130
but I'm gonna put a time constraint on it down below.
726
00:39:02.130 --> 00:39:05.053
And when we get there, I'll show you what I mean.
727
00:39:06.450 --> 00:39:08.080
Do you want there to be an announcement
728
00:39:08.080 --> 00:39:11.510
that goes out to students that the test has been added?
729
00:39:11.510 --> 00:39:13.140
I'm going to say no,
730
00:39:13.140 --> 00:39:15.460
because my students will know
731
00:39:15.460 --> 00:39:18.273
when the exam is happening.
732
00:39:19.490 --> 00:39:21.050
This might confuse them
733
00:39:21.050 --> 00:39:25.990
if it comes in their email, but you could.
734
00:39:25.990 --> 00:39:30.990
Multiple attempts is not likely to be chosen for an exam.
735
00:39:32.670 --> 00:39:36.550
What it could be chosen for is if you have quizzes
736
00:39:36.550 --> 00:39:39.140
that are really like practice tests
737
00:39:39.140 --> 00:39:41.370
and you can make practice tests
738
00:39:41.370 --> 00:39:44.780
that students can try to take again and again
739
00:39:44.780 --> 00:39:46.130
until they get it all right
740
00:39:46.130 --> 00:39:48.030
if that's what they want to do.
741
00:39:48.030 --> 00:39:52.010
You can even not include any of those results
742
00:39:52.010 --> 00:39:54.380
in the grade center calculation
743
00:39:54.380 --> 00:39:57.640
so that they're really just for students to study.
744
00:39:57.640 --> 00:40:00.713
But in this case, that's not what we're going to do.
745
00:40:03.230 --> 00:40:07.350
And forced completion is also not going to be chosen,
746
00:40:07.350 --> 00:40:11.160
I'll show you on this list here.
747
00:40:11.160 --> 00:40:13.230
This page forced completion
748
00:40:13.230 --> 00:40:15.630
we say, leave it unchecked.
749
00:40:15.630 --> 00:40:19.250
So students who lose their connection mid test
750
00:40:19.250 --> 00:40:23.640
if that happens, can reenter the test
751
00:40:23.640 --> 00:40:26.460
and continue where they left off.
752
00:40:26.460 --> 00:40:29.040
If you say forced completion,
753
00:40:29.040 --> 00:40:33.050
it means that if they get bumped out of Blackboard,
754
00:40:33.050 --> 00:40:36.930
Blackboard considers the test done.
755
00:40:36.930 --> 00:40:40.690
If you then say the student had a technical problem
756
00:40:40.690 --> 00:40:44.030
I wanna let them take the test again.
757
00:40:44.030 --> 00:40:46.640
And you give it to them again,
758
00:40:46.640 --> 00:40:48.610
they have to start at the very beginning
759
00:40:48.610 --> 00:40:50.940
and answer all those questions again.
760
00:40:50.940 --> 00:40:52.313
So leave there unchecked.
761
00:40:53.640 --> 00:40:56.773
Set timer is something that usually people do do.
762
00:40:58.980 --> 00:41:00.300
It defaults to 60
763
00:41:00.300 --> 00:41:04.273
but you can change that time to anything you want.
764
00:41:05.820 --> 00:41:10.790
Auto submit means that when that time is up,
765
00:41:10.790 --> 00:41:13.116
Blackboard is just gonna close the test on them
766
00:41:13.116 --> 00:41:15.143
and save all their questions.
767
00:41:16.040 --> 00:41:20.810
And that can be actually a good thing sometimes
768
00:41:20.810 --> 00:41:23.440
because on rare occasions,
769
00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:27.690
students sometimes log out when they're all done
770
00:41:27.690 --> 00:41:29.440
and they've forgotten to submit it.
771
00:41:30.450 --> 00:41:32.410
Normally, if you feel like 60 minutes
772
00:41:32.410 --> 00:41:33.553
is what you would give for this exam
773
00:41:33.553 --> 00:41:35.360
because that's what you do
774
00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:40.360
and you add on some extra time like wiggle room,
775
00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:44.150
then you can go ahead and click auto submit.
776
00:41:44.150 --> 00:41:48.640
And when you have someone with accommodations request
777
00:41:48.640 --> 00:41:49.830
where they need time and a half,
778
00:41:49.830 --> 00:41:52.270
we'll deal with that down below.
779
00:41:52.270 --> 00:41:55.700
But right now, I'm gonna say set timer, 70 minutes
780
00:41:55.700 --> 00:41:59.113
auto submit on cause I've given some extra wiggle room.
781
00:42:01.390 --> 00:42:04.983
This is where you decide when students will take the test.
782
00:42:05.820 --> 00:42:10.170
So in fact, I don't want it to be available right now
783
00:42:10.170 --> 00:42:12.720
even though I chose yes up above.
784
00:42:12.720 --> 00:42:14.400
You have to choose yes
785
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:16.730
and then you go here and you're gonna say
786
00:42:16.730 --> 00:42:18.713
I wanna make it available tomorrow,
787
00:42:19.610 --> 00:42:24.313
I'm gonna make it available at 9:00 AM.
788
00:42:25.410 --> 00:42:28.260
And then we always recommend that
789
00:42:28.260 --> 00:42:31.170
whenever you choose this top part in Blackboard
790
00:42:31.170 --> 00:42:34.707
that you also choose a display until.
791
00:42:34.707 --> 00:42:36.520
You can't just leave it open
792
00:42:36.520 --> 00:42:39.470
because sometimes Blackboard gets screwed up
793
00:42:39.470 --> 00:42:41.210
if you don't do that.
794
00:42:41.210 --> 00:42:44.170
So say it's also tomorrow,
795
00:42:44.170 --> 00:42:45.830
they're both the same day
796
00:42:46.810 --> 00:42:49.290
and I want it to be available.
797
00:42:49.290 --> 00:42:52.130
Now, available is not the same thing as the timer,
798
00:42:52.130 --> 00:42:57.130
available means that's when students see the link.
799
00:42:57.740 --> 00:43:00.153
If I chose 10:30,
800
00:43:02.180 --> 00:43:04.070
it's available for an hour and a half.
801
00:43:04.070 --> 00:43:07.370
If a student, for some reasons says to you
802
00:43:07.370 --> 00:43:11.270
I'm late because I don't know my internet went out
803
00:43:11.270 --> 00:43:13.600
and I couldn't take the test,
804
00:43:13.600 --> 00:43:17.930
I couldn't even start to log in until 9:30.
805
00:43:17.930 --> 00:43:19.160
They'll still see the link
806
00:43:19.160 --> 00:43:21.230
or maybe even 10:00 or 10:30.
807
00:43:21.230 --> 00:43:23.600
They're up until 10:30, they'll see that link
808
00:43:23.600 --> 00:43:25.980
and they'll have 70 minutes to do it.
809
00:43:25.980 --> 00:43:28.483
After 10:30, that link will disappear.
810
00:43:29.600 --> 00:43:31.580
But you can change that for one person,
811
00:43:31.580 --> 00:43:33.260
if they're sick or something
812
00:43:33.260 --> 00:43:35.010
and I'll show you where to do that.
813
00:43:37.250 --> 00:43:39.023
Password is not necessary.
814
00:43:41.420 --> 00:43:45.120
This is where you choose to either make it available
815
00:43:45.120 --> 00:43:48.420
to someone who said something like I just described
816
00:43:48.420 --> 00:43:52.050
or if you have someone with an accommodation requirement.
817
00:43:52.050 --> 00:43:55.380
So what you do is you click add user group,
818
00:43:55.380 --> 00:43:57.420
you see your list of students,
819
00:43:57.420 --> 00:43:59.983
you find who needs the accommodation.
820
00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:05.713
I'm gonna just check one person and click submit.
821
00:44:06.780 --> 00:44:09.390
And here's, she just appears on this page
822
00:44:09.390 --> 00:44:11.600
and you can have a list of students here.
823
00:44:11.600 --> 00:44:12.960
And you can say,
824
00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:14.530
what kind of accommodation you want?
825
00:44:14.530 --> 00:44:16.750
Do you want her to be able to do it twice?
826
00:44:16.750 --> 00:44:18.730
Do you want her to have longer time?
827
00:44:18.730 --> 00:44:21.163
Yes, so I'm gonna say 105 minutes.
828
00:44:29.210 --> 00:44:31.730
Maybe I don't want it to auto submit at the end,
829
00:44:31.730 --> 00:44:34.200
just in case she has to go over,
830
00:44:34.200 --> 00:44:37.220
but you can leave that on also.
831
00:44:37.220 --> 00:44:38.680
And here's where you can say
832
00:44:39.620 --> 00:44:42.900
I do want it available later that day
833
00:44:42.900 --> 00:44:45.020
because whatever reason
834
00:44:46.350 --> 00:44:47.910
she couldn't do it in the morning
835
00:44:47.910 --> 00:44:49.370
and she contacted you and you said,
836
00:44:49.370 --> 00:44:50.910
okay you can take it at one o'clock
837
00:44:50.910 --> 00:44:53.600
and here's where you can change the date and time
838
00:44:53.600 --> 00:44:55.223
and do all that just for her.
839
00:44:56.740 --> 00:44:59.390
So that's where you do accommodations
840
00:44:59.390 --> 00:45:01.233
and each student has their own.
841
00:45:03.330 --> 00:45:08.253
And then here due date is fine to choose.
842
00:45:10.180 --> 00:45:13.470
It will show up in the student's Blackboard calendar.
843
00:45:13.470 --> 00:45:15.630
But I recommend that if you have other things
844
00:45:15.630 --> 00:45:17.820
your tools that you're using in a Blackboard
845
00:45:17.820 --> 00:45:19.240
like the assignment tool
846
00:45:19.240 --> 00:45:22.580
and other things that are due in Blackboard
847
00:45:22.580 --> 00:45:23.750
that you choose,
848
00:45:23.750 --> 00:45:24.970
if you're going to choose,
849
00:45:24.970 --> 00:45:26.220
if you're going to select this
850
00:45:26.220 --> 00:45:28.840
so that it appears in their calendar
851
00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:31.130
then you wanna select it
852
00:45:31.130 --> 00:45:34.250
for everything you do in Blackboard
853
00:45:34.250 --> 00:45:37.080
so that their calendars are comprehensive
854
00:45:37.080 --> 00:45:38.080
and not just random.
855
00:45:39.460 --> 00:45:42.040
Well, a test was on my calendar
856
00:45:42.040 --> 00:45:43.740
but there were no quizzes on my calendar.
857
00:45:43.740 --> 00:45:46.010
So you need to use it consistently
858
00:45:46.010 --> 00:45:48.060
if you're gonna use it at all.
859
00:45:48.060 --> 00:45:52.800
So do not choose that
860
00:45:53.720 --> 00:45:55.420
because that screws things up
861
00:45:55.420 --> 00:45:57.830
for people with accommodations.
862
00:45:57.830 --> 00:46:00.040
But that is an option if you have a due date,
863
00:46:00.040 --> 00:46:00.960
you can choose that.
864
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:03.530
But let me say no on both of those,
865
00:46:03.530 --> 00:46:06.780
just up to you really for the due date.
866
00:46:06.780 --> 00:46:11.780
And then self self-assessment options.
867
00:46:11.857 --> 00:46:15.550
Basically, if this is just a practice test,
868
00:46:15.550 --> 00:46:17.403
you could choose that.
869
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:23.830
It can't be practice cause I have an essay question in it,
870
00:46:23.830 --> 00:46:26.033
which requires my grading.
871
00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:29.833
I wanna go back.
872
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:32.150
Here we go, okay.
873
00:46:32.150 --> 00:46:37.150
And then show test results and feedback to students.
874
00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:41.210
This is also kind of important
875
00:46:41.210 --> 00:46:44.190
because you have a lot of options.
876
00:46:44.190 --> 00:46:46.930
This is why this page can be very helpful
877
00:46:46.930 --> 00:46:50.330
to help you understand some of these decisions
878
00:46:50.330 --> 00:46:53.683
and why we recommend what we do.
879
00:46:54.570 --> 00:46:56.950
So when the student has submitted the test
880
00:46:56.950 --> 00:46:59.960
after their 70 minutes are up, you could say,
881
00:46:59.960 --> 00:47:03.250
yes show them everything they got right,
882
00:47:03.250 --> 00:47:04.883
everything they submitted.
883
00:47:05.830 --> 00:47:09.040
Feedback means, like if there's automatic feedback
884
00:47:09.040 --> 00:47:11.650
on those questions,
885
00:47:11.650 --> 00:47:14.450
you can say, you know,
886
00:47:14.450 --> 00:47:16.210
on each question you can give feedback
887
00:47:16.210 --> 00:47:18.240
like correct or incorrect.
888
00:47:18.240 --> 00:47:20.030
You should go back and read the chapter again
889
00:47:20.030 --> 00:47:22.880
or you can do that manually on every question
890
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:24.380
that you have after your test is built
891
00:47:24.380 --> 00:47:26.970
but not many people take that time.
892
00:47:26.970 --> 00:47:29.900
But if they did, you could choose feedback
893
00:47:29.900 --> 00:47:33.760
and you could just say only show what they got wrong
894
00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:37.440
and instead unselect all of those.
895
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:39.540
But people sometimes are worried
896
00:47:39.540 --> 00:47:43.183
about again collusion and sharing with each other.
897
00:47:45.200 --> 00:47:46.850
And sometimes they just say,
898
00:47:46.850 --> 00:47:51.850
don't show anything after submission
899
00:47:52.050 --> 00:47:55.240
or show the score per question.
900
00:47:55.240 --> 00:47:57.760
Meaning, the questions might be like,
901
00:47:57.760 --> 00:47:59.170
question one you got two points,
902
00:47:59.170 --> 00:48:01.140
question two you got zero points,
903
00:48:01.140 --> 00:48:03.030
question three, you got two points,
904
00:48:03.030 --> 00:48:04.053
that kind of thing.
905
00:48:06.350 --> 00:48:07.970
And they could get it
906
00:48:07.970 --> 00:48:09.630
as soon as they're done with their test
907
00:48:09.630 --> 00:48:13.490
or of course we have more options.
908
00:48:13.490 --> 00:48:17.520
They could see it only once, like right afterwards
909
00:48:17.520 --> 00:48:20.250
but then they would never see it again.
910
00:48:20.250 --> 00:48:22.640
So it would be hard for them to go back
911
00:48:22.640 --> 00:48:24.740
and gather that information for friends
912
00:48:24.740 --> 00:48:27.080
if they were so inclined
913
00:48:27.080 --> 00:48:31.240
or to share on some test sharing site
914
00:48:31.240 --> 00:48:33.800
where people use for massive cheating.
915
00:48:33.800 --> 00:48:35.560
I hate to talk like this about students
916
00:48:35.560 --> 00:48:37.857
but occasionally there are people that do this
917
00:48:37.857 --> 00:48:40.490
and some faculty are concerned about it.
918
00:48:40.490 --> 00:48:44.710
So you can say on a specific date
919
00:48:44.710 --> 00:48:46.150
like I'm going to actually,
920
00:48:46.150 --> 00:48:50.120
I don't want them to see anything, any scores they got
921
00:48:50.120 --> 00:48:54.580
until I know that everybody's taking the class
922
00:48:54.580 --> 00:48:57.530
including that student who couldn't take it today
923
00:48:57.530 --> 00:48:59.640
because she's going to a funeral
924
00:48:59.640 --> 00:49:01.670
and she's going to take it tomorrow.
925
00:49:01.670 --> 00:49:03.760
Instead, you can say, okay
926
00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:08.760
nobody gets any results until after everybody's.
927
00:49:08.840 --> 00:49:10.310
I know everybody's taking it
928
00:49:10.310 --> 00:49:13.390
on the 23rd and I can choose the time,
929
00:49:13.390 --> 00:49:14.990
that kind of thing.
930
00:49:14.990 --> 00:49:18.833
So this is when they find out what they got.
931
00:49:19.712 --> 00:49:21.890
You could make it after the due date
932
00:49:21.890 --> 00:49:23.850
after the availability end date
933
00:49:23.850 --> 00:49:26.600
which was 10:30 in the morning
934
00:49:26.600 --> 00:49:28.840
and after all attempts are graded.
935
00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:32.250
So this particular option is like
936
00:49:32.250 --> 00:49:34.220
once everybody's got their score,
937
00:49:34.220 --> 00:49:36.920
including that student who has to take it the next day
938
00:49:38.470 --> 00:49:41.170
then everybody can see it.
939
00:49:41.170 --> 00:49:44.500
But if you have someone who's just blowing it off
940
00:49:44.500 --> 00:49:46.200
and is going to get a zero
941
00:49:46.200 --> 00:49:48.893
this will hang up for everyone else.
942
00:49:50.020 --> 00:49:52.390
So I do not recommend that.
943
00:49:52.390 --> 00:49:56.070
So I usually recommend on a specific date.
944
00:49:56.070 --> 00:49:58.890
So you have control assuming you know
945
00:49:58.890 --> 00:50:01.190
that everyone will have taken it by that date.
946
00:50:03.660 --> 00:50:07.293
And then, I know this is exhausting.
947
00:50:08.810 --> 00:50:11.023
How do you present the questions?
948
00:50:12.820 --> 00:50:15.560
Some people really want to do all at once
949
00:50:15.560 --> 00:50:17.630
and I understand that it replicates
950
00:50:17.630 --> 00:50:20.900
what you have when you're looking at paper at a desk.
951
00:50:20.900 --> 00:50:23.360
But the reason why we recommend one at a time
952
00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:27.750
is sometimes each time the student sees a question,
953
00:50:27.750 --> 00:50:30.690
they have to answer it and click next
954
00:50:30.690 --> 00:50:33.700
then Blackboard saves that question.
955
00:50:33.700 --> 00:50:36.640
So it's actually making the connection
956
00:50:36.640 --> 00:50:38.434
to the Blackboard server
957
00:50:38.434 --> 00:50:41.933
and they know their internet connection is still good.
958
00:50:42.870 --> 00:50:45.670
And if for some reason in the background,
959
00:50:45.670 --> 00:50:47.150
their internet connection dropped
960
00:50:47.150 --> 00:50:48.560
and they didn't know it
961
00:50:48.560 --> 00:50:49.900
and they answered a question
962
00:50:49.900 --> 00:50:50.770
and they went to save it,
963
00:50:50.770 --> 00:50:53.130
it would just kind of hang up
964
00:50:53.130 --> 00:50:55.300
and they'd probably have to quit their browser
965
00:50:55.300 --> 00:50:58.340
and start again or it would give an answer saying
966
00:50:58.340 --> 00:51:00.000
your connection is lost.
967
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:02.300
Somehow they would know, oh no.
968
00:51:02.300 --> 00:51:03.940
Just tried to answer question five
969
00:51:03.940 --> 00:51:04.910
and it's not working.
970
00:51:04.910 --> 00:51:09.000
I have to restart my browser, log back in
971
00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:10.543
and continue taking it.
972
00:51:11.940 --> 00:51:13.470
If it was all at once,
973
00:51:13.470 --> 00:51:15.570
they could go merrily along
974
00:51:15.570 --> 00:51:18.540
answering you know, 60 questions,
975
00:51:18.540 --> 00:51:22.080
not realizing that they lost their internet connection
976
00:51:22.080 --> 00:51:24.690
way back at question number five.
977
00:51:24.690 --> 00:51:25.540
And they wouldn't know
978
00:51:25.540 --> 00:51:28.420
until they clicked submit at the end
979
00:51:28.420 --> 00:51:32.140
and it will say your internet connection isn't good.
980
00:51:32.140 --> 00:51:35.910
And so sometimes students are on poor connections
981
00:51:35.910 --> 00:51:37.990
and things drop in behind the scenes
982
00:51:37.990 --> 00:51:39.750
and they don't realize it.
983
00:51:39.750 --> 00:51:41.970
So one at a time allows them
984
00:51:41.970 --> 00:51:44.163
to save every question as they go.
985
00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:47.550
They can still go back and view
986
00:51:47.550 --> 00:51:50.110
what their answers were on previous questions
987
00:51:50.110 --> 00:51:54.140
if you want them to have that option like on paper
988
00:51:54.140 --> 00:51:56.090
where you go through and you check
989
00:51:56.090 --> 00:51:58.460
or maybe you skip the hardest questions until later
990
00:51:58.460 --> 00:52:00.150
and then you go back and answer them
991
00:52:00.150 --> 00:52:01.153
when you have time,
992
00:52:01.990 --> 00:52:05.620
all of those tests, excuse me,
993
00:52:05.620 --> 00:52:10.620
testing tips that students learn one at a time
994
00:52:11.070 --> 00:52:12.530
allows them to do that
995
00:52:12.530 --> 00:52:16.490
as long as this is not selected.
996
00:52:16.490 --> 00:52:19.320
Some people say, don't let them backtrack.
997
00:52:19.320 --> 00:52:22.590
And they're worried that if they backtrack
998
00:52:22.590 --> 00:52:24.340
it'll help them collude with each other
999
00:52:24.340 --> 00:52:26.220
and that is a possibility.
1000
00:52:26.220 --> 00:52:30.270
So it's just still no,
1001
00:52:30.270 --> 00:52:31.627
we don't recommend it
1002
00:52:31.627 --> 00:52:34.043
and the access office doesn't recommend it
1003
00:52:34.043 --> 00:52:35.830
because students especially
1004
00:52:35.830 --> 00:52:38.360
with accommodation needs sometimes.
1005
00:52:38.360 --> 00:52:42.300
Really need to have the option to review
1006
00:52:42.300 --> 00:52:45.040
before they finish the whole test.
1007
00:52:45.040 --> 00:52:46.000
Ines,
1008
00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:47.370
Sure, yeah, go ahead.
1009
00:52:47.370 --> 00:52:50.140
Do students know how you're programming this
1010
00:52:50.140 --> 00:52:51.860
and what their options...
1011
00:52:51.860 --> 00:52:53.180
Yeah, they will give them notification.
1012
00:52:53.180 --> 00:52:56.710
It will say things like you have one hour.
1013
00:52:56.710 --> 00:52:58.423
I can show you what it looks like.
1014
00:52:59.314 --> 00:53:01.240
I'm gonna say randomized questions.
1015
00:53:01.240 --> 00:53:04.830
In order to show you what it looks like as a student,
1016
00:53:04.830 --> 00:53:06.950
I'm gonna turn off
1017
00:53:06.950 --> 00:53:11.350
so that it's just available right now to students.
1018
00:53:11.350 --> 00:53:13.140
Right here it says, make available.
1019
00:53:13.140 --> 00:53:16.520
Yes, everything else, I'm gonna keep the same
1020
00:53:16.520 --> 00:53:18.143
and I'm gonna click submit.
1021
00:53:20.290 --> 00:53:24.193
And now I'm gonna go in as my fake student account.
1022
00:53:26.366 --> 00:53:28.316
And when you go to the student preview,
1023
00:53:32.930 --> 00:53:34.480
now you can see this is proper.
1024
00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:36.340
Cause now I don't see my control panel
1025
00:53:36.340 --> 00:53:38.120
and that's how it should be.
1026
00:53:38.120 --> 00:53:39.590
When you do student preview,
1027
00:53:39.590 --> 00:53:42.630
you should have the same exact view that students have.
1028
00:53:42.630 --> 00:53:45.087
So I'm gonna be a student right now
1029
00:53:45.087 --> 00:53:47.800
and my name as a student is called,
1030
00:53:47.800 --> 00:53:52.080
my name and then underscore preview user.
1031
00:53:52.080 --> 00:53:53.120
And you can even see it
1032
00:53:53.120 --> 00:53:56.633
in the grade center when you go to look.
1033
00:53:57.760 --> 00:53:59.163
So there's the exam.
1034
00:54:00.170 --> 00:54:01.860
And it tells me that I have a limit
1035
00:54:01.860 --> 00:54:03.870
of one hour and 10 minutes.
1036
00:54:03.870 --> 00:54:06.180
This test will save and submit automatically
1037
00:54:06.180 --> 00:54:09.560
when the time expires for its completion.
1038
00:54:09.560 --> 00:54:13.340
This test can be saved and resumed at any point
1039
00:54:13.340 --> 00:54:16.060
until the time has expired.
1040
00:54:16.060 --> 00:54:19.780
The timer will continue to run if you leave the test.
1041
00:54:19.780 --> 00:54:22.393
Again, that forced completion thing
1042
00:54:22.393 --> 00:54:24.373
leaving the unchecked allows them,
1043
00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:28.493
say the test is 70 minutes.
1044
00:54:30.380 --> 00:54:31.760
After they get to question five
1045
00:54:31.760 --> 00:54:34.010
they've lost their internet connection.
1046
00:54:34.010 --> 00:54:36.683
They have to restart their computer,
1047
00:54:36.683 --> 00:54:40.020
their cable box or something.
1048
00:54:40.020 --> 00:54:42.070
They get back on finally,
1049
00:54:42.070 --> 00:54:44.760
meanwhile, that timer's ticking away
1050
00:54:44.760 --> 00:54:46.360
and they've lost 10 minutes of time
1051
00:54:46.360 --> 00:54:47.780
but that's why you've given them
1052
00:54:47.780 --> 00:54:52.450
some extra wiggle room in the timer.
1053
00:54:52.450 --> 00:54:56.260
And they could just resume and continue exactly
1054
00:54:56.260 --> 00:54:59.240
on question number six and continue the test.
1055
00:54:59.240 --> 00:55:02.640
But as it says here the timer will continue to run
1056
00:55:02.640 --> 00:55:07.640
and it will be saved and resumed at any point
1057
00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:10.593
until time has expired.
1058
00:55:12.620 --> 00:55:14.040
And also bear in mind
1059
00:55:14.040 --> 00:55:19.040
that availability time frame that I chose
1060
00:55:19.060 --> 00:55:22.340
of having it being available till 10:30,
1061
00:55:22.340 --> 00:55:24.230
from 9:00 to 10:30.
1062
00:55:24.230 --> 00:55:26.980
If a student got knocked off,
1063
00:55:26.980 --> 00:55:31.980
if they started the test at at 9:15 for some odd reason
1064
00:55:32.670 --> 00:55:35.060
normally they would still get 70 minutes for it.
1065
00:55:35.060 --> 00:55:37.947
But if for some reason they lost their internet connection
1066
00:55:37.947 --> 00:55:42.050
and they tried to go back in at 10:45,
1067
00:55:42.050 --> 00:55:43.180
that link would be gone
1068
00:55:43.180 --> 00:55:48.180
because you chose to make that link away at 10:30.
1069
00:55:48.590 --> 00:55:51.670
I feel like I'm just probably overwhelming people
1070
00:55:51.670 --> 00:55:53.013
with all these details.
1071
00:55:54.700 --> 00:55:57.090
But again, this is just like
1072
00:55:57.090 --> 00:55:59.820
to familiarize you with everything
1073
00:55:59.820 --> 00:56:03.180
and then the CTL can help you.
1074
00:56:03.180 --> 00:56:06.590
But as a student, I would then click begin
1075
00:56:06.590 --> 00:56:09.760
and this is what it looks like.
1076
00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:12.290
So the Brooklyn Borough of New York City
1077
00:56:12.290 --> 00:56:15.053
was previously known as,
1078
00:56:19.250 --> 00:56:22.513
what? I guess I have to,
1079
00:56:25.550 --> 00:56:26.930
question number one,
1080
00:56:26.930 --> 00:56:30.823
doesn't seem to be formatting correctly,
1081
00:56:33.800 --> 00:56:34.663
I don't know why.
1082
00:56:41.490 --> 00:56:42.810
All right, question number one.
1083
00:56:42.810 --> 00:56:45.410
Let me just see what question number two looks like,
1084
00:56:46.259 --> 00:56:47.513
it's a saving answer.
1085
00:56:49.680 --> 00:56:51.870
Seems to be something kind of screwy,
1086
00:56:51.870 --> 00:56:53.010
question is unanswered,
1087
00:56:53.010 --> 00:56:55.646
okay, yeah, I'm trying to answer it.
1088
00:56:55.646 --> 00:56:56.810
I'm not seeing where to type,
1089
00:56:56.810 --> 00:56:59.343
maybe it's invisible.
1090
00:57:00.750 --> 00:57:02.370
Oh, there it is, okay.
1091
00:57:02.370 --> 00:57:05.610
So you can't really see in Blackboard anymore
1092
00:57:05.610 --> 00:57:07.400
where the fields are,
1093
00:57:07.400 --> 00:57:09.640
I hate that they're like so pale
1094
00:57:10.630 --> 00:57:13.270
but anyway, I'm gonna say, I don't know what it was,
1095
00:57:13.270 --> 00:57:15.763
I'll just put in some King County or something.
1096
00:57:20.970 --> 00:57:22.780
So that's a fill in the blank
1097
00:57:22.780 --> 00:57:26.570
and it's barely able to tell where that is.
1098
00:57:26.570 --> 00:57:28.210
So now I'm gonna say save,
1099
00:57:28.210 --> 00:57:29.690
now it's happy, it's gonna save
1100
00:57:29.690 --> 00:57:31.193
and I can go to question two.
1101
00:57:32.730 --> 00:57:35.630
It says I have an hour and eight minutes remaining.
1102
00:57:35.630 --> 00:57:38.893
So it lets the student know that the timer's going down.
1103
00:57:40.130 --> 00:57:42.340
Put these in order of the Harry Potter
1104
00:57:42.340 --> 00:57:46.303
so I can say, let's see.
1105
00:57:48.057 --> 00:57:50.110
"The Chamber of Secrets" I think was one.
1106
00:57:50.110 --> 00:57:50.943
You know what I mean?
1107
00:57:50.943 --> 00:57:53.210
You can go through, I don't remember what's what,
1108
00:57:53.210 --> 00:57:55.210
but I think that was the last one,
1109
00:57:55.210 --> 00:57:56.043
I don't know.
1110
00:57:56.043 --> 00:57:56.917
Anyway, so you can go through
1111
00:57:56.917 --> 00:58:00.300
and answer every question one by one
1112
00:58:00.300 --> 00:58:04.720
and then up here, you can see all the questions of the test
1113
00:58:04.720 --> 00:58:08.130
and you can see whether you've completed them or not.
1114
00:58:08.130 --> 00:58:08.963
I don't know what happens
1115
00:58:08.963 --> 00:58:11.690
if you jump to question three,
1116
00:58:11.690 --> 00:58:13.160
you can then answer it.
1117
00:58:13.160 --> 00:58:18.160
Question number three, student seven, save my answer.
1118
00:58:19.050 --> 00:58:21.010
It makes that connection with the internet,
1119
00:58:21.010 --> 00:58:24.440
it tells me which questions, you know,
1120
00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:25.670
like say I skipped that one
1121
00:58:25.670 --> 00:58:27.120
because I want to think about it more,
1122
00:58:27.120 --> 00:58:29.350
but I'm worried about my time.
1123
00:58:29.350 --> 00:58:31.420
So I'm just gonna go past it
1124
00:58:31.420 --> 00:58:36.420
and make sure I get these other ones answer that I know.
1125
00:58:37.540 --> 00:58:40.450
And then it's now saved
1126
00:58:40.450 --> 00:58:43.740
so it shows you everyone that saved.
1127
00:58:43.740 --> 00:58:45.570
Because I didn't prohibit backtracking,
1128
00:58:45.570 --> 00:58:48.480
I can go back and look at question one again
1129
00:58:48.480 --> 00:58:50.233
and I can review what I did.
1130
00:58:51.120 --> 00:58:53.927
I can go back and finish this unfinished one
1131
00:58:53.927 --> 00:58:56.087
and I can skip around that way
1132
00:58:56.087 --> 00:58:58.280
and it tells me what I've answered or not.
1133
00:58:58.280 --> 00:59:01.023
So that's what it looks like to students.
1134
00:59:04.150 --> 00:59:08.180
If I try to at the very bottom close window
1135
00:59:08.180 --> 00:59:10.500
it's gonna probably give me a warning.
1136
00:59:10.500 --> 00:59:14.160
The changes you made might not be saved, that's fine.
1137
00:59:14.160 --> 00:59:16.030
If I exit the preview now
1138
00:59:18.690 --> 00:59:22.310
If I go down to grade center.
1139
00:59:22.310 --> 00:59:23.959
Once you deploy it,
1140
00:59:23.959 --> 00:59:28.959
that's the point where the the grade center,
1141
00:59:31.710 --> 00:59:33.183
oh, this is not good.
1142
00:59:34.420 --> 00:59:35.883
Edit mode is off.
1143
00:59:38.760 --> 00:59:40.300
Oh, did you notice though
1144
00:59:40.300 --> 00:59:42.663
that I still had my student groups down there?
1145
00:59:44.210 --> 00:59:45.910
So anyway, yeah, that was weird.
1146
00:59:47.310 --> 00:59:50.120
Oh yeah, so, all right.
1147
00:59:50.120 --> 00:59:51.453
So edit mode on.
1148
00:59:55.960 --> 00:59:58.430
And if I go down to the grade center,
1149
00:59:58.430 --> 01:00:00.140
once you deploy it there's a column
1150
01:00:00.140 --> 01:00:03.893
that's automatically added to the grade center.
1151
01:00:06.060 --> 01:00:10.560
That's me Ines Berrizbetia preview user.
1152
01:00:10.560 --> 01:00:15.343
And you can scroll over to see
1153
01:00:17.010 --> 01:00:19.900
where the test showed up here
1154
01:00:19.900 --> 01:00:23.150
and that little icon, if you hover over it
1155
01:00:23.150 --> 01:00:25.630
a little thing pops up to tell you what it means,
1156
01:00:25.630 --> 01:00:27.070
attempt is in progress
1157
01:00:27.070 --> 01:00:29.560
meaning I haven't really finished it.
1158
01:00:29.560 --> 01:00:33.640
So if a student leaves their test without finishing it
1159
01:00:33.640 --> 01:00:35.640
it's going to look like that.
1160
01:00:35.640 --> 01:00:38.670
And if the whole day is passed
1161
01:00:38.670 --> 01:00:43.350
and you can go in and you can look at what they did
1162
01:00:43.350 --> 01:00:45.480
and you can look at the attempt,
1163
01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:47.670
here's her attempt.
1164
01:00:47.670 --> 01:00:49.040
What did she do?
1165
01:00:49.040 --> 01:00:52.950
She's answered some questions.
1166
01:00:52.950 --> 01:00:55.350
Oh, look at that I got it right.
1167
01:00:55.350 --> 01:01:00.350
And then you can see that there are no answers
1168
01:01:01.380 --> 01:01:03.410
given in these other ones,
1169
01:01:03.410 --> 01:01:04.610
but I can go through and see
1170
01:01:04.610 --> 01:01:06.770
if she's answered all the questions
1171
01:01:06.770 --> 01:01:10.690
and just forgot to save it or something.
1172
01:01:10.690 --> 01:01:15.690
And what I can do is go to,
1173
01:01:15.750 --> 01:01:18.940
I'm not sure where this is again now, but.
1174
01:01:18.940 --> 01:01:21.890
So when it's done and graded
1175
01:01:21.890 --> 01:01:23.590
what shows up in the grade center
1176
01:01:23.590 --> 01:01:25.203
is the percent correct?
1177
01:01:26.510 --> 01:01:28.040
Right.
1178
01:01:28.040 --> 01:01:30.000
Once you do a grade curve,
1179
01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:31.610
you can add your own column
1180
01:01:31.610 --> 01:01:36.610
and enter A, B, C, D for that percent correct.
1181
01:01:39.200 --> 01:01:42.543
If you wanna use letter grades, you could.
1182
01:01:45.700 --> 01:01:47.280
You can program it so it would.
1183
01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:48.717
Yeah, yeah, you can do that.
1184
01:01:48.717 --> 01:01:51.340
And if I go to full grade center
1185
01:01:52.380 --> 01:01:55.010
and then go back to that column and I click edit
1186
01:01:56.180 --> 01:01:59.360
all these options here which I won't get into all of them
1187
01:01:59.360 --> 01:02:04.260
but down here is this one called edit column information.
1188
01:02:04.260 --> 01:02:09.260
And it basically tells me a few things about the column.
1189
01:02:09.370 --> 01:02:11.280
One is the score.
1190
01:02:11.280 --> 01:02:12.570
I could just give the score
1191
01:02:12.570 --> 01:02:17.570
which could be 29 points or something.
1192
01:02:18.320 --> 01:02:19.770
I can't remember what it was,
1193
01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:22.393
or I could put a letter grade.
1194
01:02:23.260 --> 01:02:28.260
Got you, so actually if you do a curve
1195
01:02:28.540 --> 01:02:33.540
rather than a rigid grading scheme,
1196
01:02:35.950 --> 01:02:38.110
letter grading scheme at the outset
1197
01:02:39.310 --> 01:02:43.740
it's probably better to have it display the score
1198
01:02:43.740 --> 01:02:45.490
rather than the percent.
1199
01:02:45.490 --> 01:02:50.490
And then I can imagine you could program this
1200
01:02:52.790 --> 01:02:56.100
for Blackboard to convert that score to a letter grade
1201
01:02:56.100 --> 01:03:00.363
according to the curve that you program.
1202
01:03:01.820 --> 01:03:06.090
Well, I'm not really sure exactly about the curve business
1203
01:03:07.550 --> 01:03:08.640
but that might be something
1204
01:03:08.640 --> 01:03:11.040
that you could consult with us on individually
1205
01:03:11.040 --> 01:03:14.100
and certainly the Blackboard administrator would know
1206
01:03:14.100 --> 01:03:15.560
even Justin Schimmel might know,
1207
01:03:15.560 --> 01:03:17.213
but as far as I,
1208
01:03:18.430 --> 01:03:20.823
I don't know if you have a huge class.
1209
01:03:22.300 --> 01:03:24.340
Well, over 100 students.
1210
01:03:24.340 --> 01:03:25.820
Okay, so it's not something
1211
01:03:25.820 --> 01:03:28.060
that you probably wanna enter everyone's grade
1212
01:03:28.060 --> 01:03:29.670
into a blank column manually,
1213
01:03:29.670 --> 01:03:32.313
but in the grade center.
1214
01:03:34.430 --> 01:03:39.430
So if this is the their earned grade
1215
01:03:39.550 --> 01:03:42.560
as Blackboard computes it,
1216
01:03:42.560 --> 01:03:45.753
you could hide this column from students for the moment.
1217
01:03:47.490 --> 01:03:48.943
You could make a new column,
1218
01:03:50.710 --> 01:03:55.710
call it exam one final grade.
1219
01:03:58.680 --> 01:03:59.810
This would be the one
1220
01:03:59.810 --> 01:04:03.313
where you're gonna have your modified,
1221
01:04:07.980 --> 01:04:09.170
value must be provided.
1222
01:04:09.170 --> 01:04:13.410
So I'm gonna say points possible.
1223
01:04:13.410 --> 01:04:15.820
I don't know exactly what it would be,
1224
01:04:15.820 --> 01:04:18.500
but I'm just gonna say, submit,
1225
01:04:18.500 --> 01:04:21.823
and then it's gonna appear over here.
1226
01:04:25.658 --> 01:04:27.940
I could download this column into Excel
1227
01:04:27.940 --> 01:04:30.023
and calculate this and upload it,
1228
01:04:31.179 --> 01:04:32.760
with something there.
1229
01:04:32.760 --> 01:04:34.780
I don't exactly know how we would approach it
1230
01:04:34.780 --> 01:04:36.700
but that's how you could do it.
1231
01:04:36.700 --> 01:04:37.760
I don't know that many people
1232
01:04:37.760 --> 01:04:40.453
that have been grading on a curve in Blackboard, but.
1233
01:04:41.662 --> 01:04:42.495
That's fine.
1234
01:04:42.495 --> 01:04:45.360
I feel like I have some direction, thank you.
1235
01:04:45.360 --> 01:04:46.990
Yeah, sure.
1236
01:04:46.990 --> 01:04:48.050
Okay, so that's it.
1237
01:04:48.050 --> 01:04:50.790
That's making the test,
1238
01:04:50.790 --> 01:04:53.470
importing questions from Word document
1239
01:04:53.470 --> 01:04:56.303
and deploying the test.
1240
01:04:58.171 --> 01:05:02.350
And I think we've definitely gone over time.
1241
01:05:02.350 --> 01:05:04.390
So I apologize for that.
1242
01:05:04.390 --> 01:05:06.860
And some people have left,
1243
01:05:06.860 --> 01:05:09.960
but if you have any questions
1244
01:05:09.960 --> 01:05:11.973
I do have a console I have to get to.
1245
01:05:13.878 --> 01:05:15.830
I'm grateful that you came
1246
01:05:15.830 --> 01:05:19.650
and I think we have a survey we're sending out,
1247
01:05:19.650 --> 01:05:23.050
I'm not sure if that's going out on the Blackboard courses
1248
01:05:23.050 --> 01:05:24.470
or if it's just the other courses
1249
01:05:24.470 --> 01:05:29.080
but if you do get it, please fill it out.
1250
01:05:29.080 --> 01:05:30.870
It will be sent to you.
1251
01:05:30.870 --> 01:05:35.870
And for now, I'm just gonna say thanks for coming
1252
01:05:36.180 --> 01:05:38.490
and contact us with any questions
1253
01:05:38.490 --> 01:05:42.140
