Let’s get started
Senario
Center for Learning TechnologyArkansas State University
Scenario 1: A timed online exam with tight controls to make it more difficult to cheat.
Either you import your publishers test bank or you create a 50 question test that you want your online class to take. The instructions you would provide are as follows: Students, the exam is a 60 minute exam containing 50 questions. You can access it via the Bb Assignment section of your class, between 3pm and 5pm on Tuesday xx/xx/2008.
Once logged into the test, the system will only allow you to take the exam only once and will lock you out of using your PC for any other purpose - hence no printing/emailing. If you log out or exit the exam, you can not log back in to continue. You can access the exam through blackboard. The new lockdown browser will require you to enter the password listed under course documents.
