Release test on Blackboard

On blackboard, test can be edited in Canvas.

In Content area, I can use create test to select an exisiting test from the pool.

To generate test, I can use Respondus or "Wimba Diploma 6" from the testbook publisher. WImbaDiploma6 can export the test to Blackboard format. I can upload the Zip file to "Tests".

The new version of Blackboard system 9.1 has split the former “Copy” option from the context menu into two options “Copy” and “Move”.  The “Move” function is available for all objects you can use in a content area, including Assignments, Tests and Surveys. However the “Copy” function is only available for those elements that do no reflect a result in the Grade Center. (pretty stupid design indeed)

To copy assignment becomes a little bit tricky now. According the answers from Blackboard Ask The Doctors:

It is by design that there’s no “Copy” button to an assignment in 9.1 (and earlier versions of Blackboard as well).   When an assignment is created and deploy, it is not just a simple content item, but also contains links into the grade center, creating a new column for assignment file management and grading.  So assignments can be copied using a course copy that includes both the content areas and the grade center.

Deployed tests are the same way–they cannot be copied individually from the content area where they are deployed, but have to be copied as part of a course copy that includes the content area, the tests/surveys/pools, and the grade center.

backboard scrolling bar, mac

The Scroll Bars have Disappeared While Using Blackboard Grade Center with a Mac. How do I fix this?

When using Blackboard Grade Center on a Mac, you may notice that the horizontal scroll bars have disappeared, preventing you from viewing the rest of your grade columns. This issue tends to only exist on versions of Mac OSX 10.7 and above. To fix this follow these steps:

On Mac OS X: 

1. Open System Preferences, either from the Dock or from the Apple menu.
2. In the System Preferences, select the General preference pane.
3. The middle section of the General preference pane controls when scroll bars appear.
4. Select "Always" from the Show Scroll Bars options.

Enabling the above feature will keep the scroll bar from automatically hiding.
