NEW Blackboard Ultra Question Bank Manager

[@lwilliamsrsu]

Very clear tutorial on downloading test banks and modifying questions.

this does not address the fact that you need to use Pools. I have test bank files from publishers that cannot be uploaded

Do you have any tips for the file formatting for importing questions? I have followed the guide for using excel saved as a tab delimited .txt file where each line is a question and each column is type/question/answer1/correct/answer2/incorrect/answer3/incorrect. There is no header and only 30 rows of questions. Saved as .txt and zipped as the only file in the zip. I get an error every time that it will not import. Any ideas?

@melissawells9778 Did you ever figure this out? I am struggling with this right now.

Thanks for the video. Question: when assigning points to a question, if the total # of questions x points > 100, how does this effect % grading. In other words will BB calculate the % 0-100 for the test?

[@designtoeducate]

Great Question. If you choose to display the assessment grade as a percentage, it will give them a % based on the points total. If there are 10 questions, 2 points each, 20 total, and they earned 16 points, they will see their grade as 80%. That being said, this does affect how the total quiz category calculates their overall grade.

Are Question "Banks" and "Pools" considered the same thing in Ultra?

[@pequodexpress]

No, they are not. Question Banks are what Bb Classic referred to as Pools, and Pools in Ultra are what classic referred to as Question Sets and Random Blocks.

Could you help me export a quiz in ultra? I cannot for the life of me find how to export a quiz as a zip file.
