The document discusses best practices for setting up online tests in Blackboard. It recommends that tests should be set up with one question displayed at a time to create a rigorous testing environment where students cannot look ahead at future questions. It also suggests not displaying correct answers after a test is submitted so others cannot access them. The document provides guidance on setting timers, forcing completion, technical instructions for students, and how to provide feedback and handle issues.

Listen - The Gist is in the Detail IH WebinarChris Ożóg
Have you ever had a learner who has been taking classes for a while and yet still bemoans the fact that English speakers eat their words or that listening is too difficult? This is quite a common complaint and can lead to frustration for learners of even higher levels. But what can we, as teachers, do about it? How can we try to help them? We have listening in our lessons and the learners seem to get the majority of the questions right each time, so surely they are ok at listening, right? This webinar looks at why this might not actually be the case and what might be causing the learners' problems in the first place. We'll look at some aspects of listening that are often neglected in class, such as the importance of pronunciation and priming, before I suggest some activities and approaches to teaching listening that aim to help the learners develop their skills, rather than simply practice them.
Enhancing Student Learning through Proactive Feedback Based Adaptive Teaching...IJITE
This paper presents a proactive anonymous feedback based adaptive teaching for enhancing student
learning for engineering courses. In conventional university teaching, typically, students come to the class
and instructors lecture the material, assign home assignments, take exams, etc. After grading assignments
or exams, the instructor provides feedback to students. Most of the time, students are reluctant to ask
questions or ask instructor to revisit the topic which was already covered. However, there is no immediate
anonymous feedback mechanism for each topic or class to notify the instructor about topics which are not
clear to students. There are advantages that enhance students’ learning experience by using a proactive
anonymous feedback approach in teaching, learning and assessment. In this paper, we present the
immediate impacts of proactive anonymous feedback based adaptive teaching on student learning and
assessment. Furthermore, anonymous online based feedback mechanism provides faster feedback than
conventional mechanism (where students wait until the first exam or so). Immediate feedback for each topic
discussed in the class streamlines the process of reporting and the provision of active studying. The results
show that students get better grade and instructors get better student evaluation score since the anonymous
feedback provides a mechanism for students to ask questions anonymously and the instructors get an
opportunity to answer the questions or concerns in a timely manner. We implemented the proactive
anonymous feedback approach in many courses in different semesters and observed similar results.
However, as an example, we present one course and instructor to illustrate the effectiveness of the
proposed approach.

Written Lecture
Test Taking
Dr. Carolyn D. Corliss
Certain specifications should be outlined when professors prepare a test so
that they are relevant to the instruction. First, professors should use test and
assessment specification as a guide. Simply put, the conditions of the test and
assessment should describe the performance needed to be measured along
with what learning outcomes to measure. Second, each test item and
assessment task should be written so the task to be performed is clearly
defined, and it measures the performance described in the intended learning
outcome. If a test is written with clarity and simplicity, avoiding unnecessary
wording, then the students will have an easier time taking it. Third, keeping the
reading difficulty and vocabulary level simple will prevent distorted results.
Students should be measured on the performance determined, not by some
factor that was not designed to measure. (Miller, Linn, & Gronlund, 2009).
Students should be knowledgeable on what to do and what not to do when
preparing and taking a test. Preparations for the test can entail many
dimensions, including: maintaining good study habits, completing and
submitting assignments on time while having a clear understanding of the work
expected of you, and contacting the professor if you need any additional help or
clarification. Getting a good night’s sleep and eating breakfast before a test will
help you stay focused (Tennessee Department of Education, 2010). Also, as a
part of preparation, do not cram for the test. You have to start by planning
ahead and deciding not only is this is something you need to do, but must do in
order to achieve the results you anticipate. Make sure that you have everything
you need for the test, i.e. computer, good test taking environment, and minimal
distractions. Always make sure to read the directions and questions carefully
so you know what is expected from you. Finally, when you have selected all
your responses/answers, do not submit it without going back and reviewing
your answers and proofing what you have written. (TeacherVision, 2010).

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. Testing in Blackboard Now that you’ve experienced some of the test taking options available in Blackboard, let’s review the details.
3.
4. Just as you would not offer a test for students to take home and return the next class period in a ‘live’ course, on online assessment should have similar standards.
5.
6. Although it is a good way to ensure academic rigor, how will you review the lessons learned from the test?
7.
8. Instructions for timed tests Include the length of time the test will be available (one day or several days?) Provide instructions on how to advance to the next question (save each one or simply advance?)
9. Instructions for timed tests Include the length of time the test will be available (one day or several days?) Include number of minutes students will have to complete test Include number of questions in description of test Provide instructions on how to advance to the next question (save each one or simply advance?) Provide detailed instructions for technical requirements. (next slide)
10. Instructions for timed tests Include the length of time the test will be available (one day or several days?) Include number of minutes students will have to complete test Include number of questions in description of test Remind students to select Submit when finished Explain penalty (if appropriate) for exceeding time limits Provide instructions on how to advance to the next question (save each one or simply advance?) Provide detailed instructions for technical requirements. (next slide) Explain the procedure if student has technical issues (email you, email HelpDesk?)
11. Technical Instructions Provide guidelines for taking a Blackboard test such as the example below. It will reduce the amount of students getting kicked out of ‘forced completion’ tests. When you are taking a quiz or test with the forced completion option, it is very sensitive to other activity. If the student is not using an approved browser (have them use the browser checker link on the Blackboard login page to verify this) or if they open and use any other application while they are taking the test, Blackboard thinks that they have ended their web session and submits the quiz for them. Students MUST follow the recommendations we make for testing within Blackboard:1. Close all applications/programs on your computer.2. Launch a single web browser window using a certified/compatible web browser.3. Log into Blackboard and launch the test by clicking on the link within your course.Be sure that you DO NOT DOUBLE-CLICK on the link for the test as this can cause problems.4. Take the test. The following items increase the likelihood that the testing session will close and you will not be able to finish or restart the test.-DO NOT open any other applications/programs on your computer while you are taking the test. -DO NOT open any other web browser sessions/tabs while taking the test. This means you may not open another window to do a Google search. -DO NOT use the back button on your browser or try to return to a previous question. -AVOID using a wireless connection. You are much more likely to get kicked out of a test with a wireless connection at a coffee shop, for example.
12. Technical Instructions An explanation of what you expect from a student if they need a test reset should be included with every test. An example: Test will open on Wednesday, March 23 at 7am and close on Friday, March 25 at midnight. If you have technical issues while taking the test you will need to do the following three things before I can reopen the test for you. 1. Email the help desk informing them of the problem. 2. Email me informing me of the problem and include the help desk ticket number you receive confirming your message to them. 3. A screen shot of your desk top so I can attempt to solve the problem immediately. If you don't know how to do any of these things, please take the time to learn it before opening the test.
13. Providing Feedback Select the Type of Feedback Displayed Upon Completion Score – Students will see their score if there are no short answer or essay questions the instructor needs to grade. Submitted Answers – Students will see their submitted answers. Correct Answers – Will you provide the answers immediately with this option or in another way? Feedback – You may add comments to a correct answer and an incorrect answer to utilize that teachable moment.
Editor's Notes
This should only need to be uploaded the first few weeks of your course. After that, students should know the expectations and would only need a quick reminder to refer to the Technical Instructions if they needed to read the document again. It should be uploaded in the Course Documents for easy access.
