Saving Tests in Blackboard

Students

Are you having trouble taking tests in Blackboard?

Please be aware that, if you are taking a timed test, the timer will continue to run even if you exit or are kicked out of the test (e.g. – due to network problems, your computer crashing etc). Even though Blackboard will display the following message,:

you will not be able to resume the test after the allotted time has expired. Even if you save the exam to resume later, the timer will continue.

Faculty

For this reason, when creating timed tests and quizzes in Blackboard, it is recommended that you include a warning regarding the timer issue.

The Solution

An enhancement request has been submitted to Blackboard to change the wording of the message, and thus prevent any further confusion.
