ICYMI, I recommend that you read my Rethinking Multiple-Choice Tests for Better Learning Assessment<\/a> blog post for information on using higher-order multiple-choice questions for assessments.<\/p>\nImportant: Don't assume your students know how to take an online test.<\/strong> If you plan to have your students take an online test, you should require your students take a practice quiz before they take the first online test that will count towards their final grade<\/strong>. Your practice quiz should have a few questions in it to simulate what the student would experience when taking an actual exam. Include the types of questions you will ask on an actual test or quiz (e.g., multiple choice, true\/false, short answer, written response, etc.) Use settings similar to those you will use on an actual test or quiz (e.g., questions per page, no backtracking, etc.) <\/p>\nBy taking the practice quiz students can ensure that their computers, webcam (if required), and internet are working properly. Allow unlimited attempts on the practice quiz<\/strong>, so students can take it whenever their device or networking environment changes.<\/p>\nStudents should be given the opportunity to take the practice quiz well in advance of the first online test that will count towards their final grade so that they will have ample opportunity to correct any technical issues.<\/p>\n
Require students to review this<\/strong> Guide to Taking Tests in Brightspace<\/a> before<\/strong> they take the first online test that will count towards their final grade.<\/p>\nOffering a practice quiz with question types and settings like you plan to use in online tests that will count towards the final grade can help ensure students will be familiar with taking an online test in your course. Remember the purpose of the practice quiz is to simulate taking an online test so the questions you include in your practice quiz should be questions your students can easily answer.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Release Conditions is an advanced feature you can consider using if you want Brightspace to automatically release the test the students will be graded on when the student has completed one attempt at the practice quiz. Your availability dates<\/a> will restrict when your tests are available to the students. You can find more information about Release Conditions in Brightspace Tip #237: Release Conditions<\/a>.<\/p>\nWant More Information?<\/h3>\n
