Blackboard will be unavailable January 2nd 2025, from 1:00am until 7:30am for scheduled maintenance by Anthology. During this time, you will be unable to log into Blackboard or access any Blackboard resources.
When you create an assessment, you can use question pools to be sure each student receives a different version of the assessment.
On the Add Question Pool page, you can browse, preview, filter, and select questions from other assessments and question banks in the course you're currently in. You can view the questions but can't make edits until you add the question pool to your assessment.
In an assessment, select the plus sign wherever you want to add a question pool.
Select Add question pool from the menu.
On the Add Question Pool page, select the assessments, question banks, and question types you want to include in your pool. In the Filter Criteria panel, you can also perform a basic search by keyword.
Filter questions
In the active filter area on the right, select the questions you want to add. You can view how many items you've selected at the bottom of the screen.
Select Clear all to clear the Filter Criteria selections. Any questions your have selected will remain selected.
To remove selected questions, use Select all and Clear all to remove all questions at one time.
View Questions
On the Add Question Pool page, you can expand questions to view them. You can't edit the questions or the points on the Add Question Pool page.
Once you have selected all the questions, click Add Questions. This is to insert the question pool into your assessment.
Select Add Questions. The question pool appears in your assessment. Type the points and the number of questions to display to students. The points are assigned to each question in the pool. You can't assign separate points for individual questions in the same pool.
Select Save to add the question pool to your assessment.
You can edit the points assigned to each question in the pool even after submissions.
Before students open an assessment, you can add, remove, and edit individual questions in a question pool. When you remove a question in a pool, the question isn't deleted from your course. You can also delete a pool or move a pool to a new location in the assessment.
A. After you save the question pool, press the Drag to reorder icon in a pool's row to move it to a new location. The question numbering updates automatically. Open the menu and select Edit to make changes to the pool, such as the questions' points. Select Delete to remove the pool from the assessment.
B. You can view the questions in a pool and add, remove, or edit questions.
C. Select the plus sign wherever you want to add another question pool.
When you select Edit/Regrade, a notification states how many other assessments are affected. If you edit a question in a question pool, the edits appear everywhere the question is used. The same is true for edits you make in a source assessment's questions. Those edits affect all the question pools where the question appears.
After students open an assessment or make submissions, you can't add or remove questions from a pool or delete a pool from an assessment. You also can't move the pool to a new location in the assessment. You can edit, regrade, and give full credit for questions when submissions exist. For example, if you change the correct answer, the question is regraded in all assessments where the question is used.
Give full credit option
You can give everyone full credit for a question you didn't explain clearly or doesn't accurately reflect your lecture or textbook material.
You can give full credit for a question from the View questions link in a pool or a student's submission page. If you apply full credit for a question in a source assessment or a question pool, full credit is applied to that question everywhere it appears.
After you select Edit/Regrade in a question's menu, you can select the check box for Give full credit for question. After you give full credit, you can clear the check box to revert to the automatic grade or a previously assigned manual grade.
Your update affects existing attempts, attempts in progress, and subsequent submissions. Student grades are updated, but the new grades or reversal may not appear immediately.
You can't change student scores for an individual question when you give full credit. You can override each student's assessment score to adjust the points.
Student view of full credit
After grading is completed and you show students the correct answers, they can see which questions you've awarded full credit. Full credit given appears next to the grade pill and is also noted in the answers section.
