Tests & Quizzes

With the Tests & Quizzes tool, you can create online tests, practice exercises, surveys, and other forms of assessment. Question types can include multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, essay, and more. Tests can be imported from Blackboard and from other sources. There are many settings for customizing delivery of your assessment. Grades can be sent to the Sakai gradebook, and statistics are available for each individual question and for the overall assessment.
