Respondus offers all of the standard question formats as well as the ability to insert photos, calculated formulas, questions from other previously created Respondus exams, and questions from publisher text banks.  Respondus is a much simpler text creation tool than the one contained in Blackboard and has a simple “publishing wizard” that will quickly upload and deploy your exam to any Blackboard course you are teaching. 

Getting STARTED WITH & INSTALLING Respondus

Our license enables instructors to download the software from our own server (the” apps” drive) to your office or personal computer.  The program is intuitive and very easy to use, and users may create exams while not connected to the internet or Xavier network.
