Blackboard Assessments & Test Exceptions

The online assessment tool in Blackboard can be utilized to facilitate meaningful and memorable learning activities for students. These online assessment tools include: surveys, tests, and quizzes. Instructors can set up options for how and when assessments are deployed, and can also include exceptions. Test Exceptions settings are located on Test/Survey Optionspage during the assessment set up process. These settings allow instructors to select either one student or groups of students and make a number of exceptions to the already established availability settings. Instructors can use exceptions to provide an accommodation to a disabled student, to provide accommodations for technology, language differences, or to (re)deploy a test to one student.  


Please join us  in-person  or   virtually  for our  Assessing Learnings in Blackboard  workshop on Tuesday, June 30 from 12noon-12:50 PM.
