Bb Test Questions Generator

Blackboard Learn allows course instructors to import tests created in text format (i.e. MS Word or Notepad) in the Test tool. The questions of the test should be authored offline in a specially formatted text file and then uploaded into test, surveys and question pools. These questions, can be then edited and authored in the system.

Use a free test generator to turn your test file in a compatible format so as to import it in Blackboard Learn tests. The generator sites mentioned below are not created nor supported by ACG or Blackboard. Keep in mind that they may not be updated by the providers.
