The Blackboard 5 Assessment manager creates and organizes quizzes, exams, and surveys. Results can be graded and recorded in the online gradebook. Instructors can create an assessment to test the knowledge and skill level of the users enrolled in the course.
Assessments can also determine a consensus of thought on a particular subject matter.
This section describes the types of assessments. The assessment option permits the instructor to assign point values to each question on exams or quizzes. Student answers are submitted for grading, and the results are recorded in the gradebook. The survey option provides instructors with an assessment tool that records answers anonymously. This is useful for polling purposes, instructor evaluations, and random checks of knowledge.
