Assessments are very important to everyone involved. For students, successfully passing a test is an important demonstration of learning, and a symbol that a phase in their training has been completed. For teaching staff and the university, tests provide essential information about the quality of training provided, which in turn has consequences for the reputation and funding of the institution.

Blackboard 9.1 has a number of useful functions for creating new tests and analysing test results, all of which are explained in detail in this manual.

We advise you to read the entire manual, but if you just want to get an idea of the various assessment possibilities of Blackboard 9.1, these are summarized in sections 1 to Specifying settings for the test questions.
