Word-to-test conversion

The question-creation process in Blackboard can be a little tedious. If you’re looking to create a test or pool of questions quickly, a faster option may be to send ODE an appropriately formatted Word file. ODE can generate a question pool or test from that Word (or other simple text) file in about two business days. Just email the file to ode@udmercy.edu

In your email, indicate the course you’d like the questions added to, preferably by CRN or courseID (e.g., 20472_CIS1000-03_2016). If you’d like a full test created, indicate where in the course you’d like the test added, along with any settings you’d like applied (points per question, availability dates, time limit, force completion, etc). More on Test Options Here.

 

NOTES:

ODE requires a minimum of two business days to get your test file converted.

ODE CAN ONLY CONVERT PROPERLY FORMATTED WORD FILES. If your file is not properly formatted, it will be returned with instructions on how to correct the format. ODE WILL NOT REFORMAT IMPROPERLY FORMATTED FILES.  

 

Fortunately, the format is extremely easy to follow.
