10. Top Tips
• For easy re-use of questions, create pools
• Add feedback to questions as you create to save time and re-inforce
student learning
• Use the respondus lockdown browser to limit students movement
outside of the test
• Select random order of answers and questions to limit the chance of
students copying
• Pools of questions will also minimise the chance of 2 students taking
exactly the same test
• Calculate questions allow up to 100 different sets of values (automatic)
students get different computations to do
