Build tests
Build assessments that are fair and aligned to your objectives.
In Blackboard, Tests and Assignments share the same building interface, so creating a Test will feel familiar. Add a Test from the plus menu on the Course Content page, then add your questions.
Write each question to a specific objective. Set the number of attempts, any time limit, and when students see their scores and feedback. Decide whether feedback releases immediately or after everyone has submitted.
How to do this in Blackboard
Official step-by-step instructions. Each opens in a new tab so you don’t lose your place in the course.
Accessibility checkpoint
Keep question text clear, avoid relying on color or images alone to carry meaning, and make sure approved time accommodations are applied.
