Tips for posting online tests/quizzes for students with DSS accommodations

Do you have a student(s) with a Disability Support Services request for additional testing time and you use tests or quizzes in Blackboard?

These are the steps you can use to open tests/quizzes with additional testing time just for the students who need it.

1. Create a Content Folder called ADA Testing 
2. Select Edit feature called "Adaptive Metadata"
3. Follow instructions to add the student the with DSS accommodation request using their UA Username
4. Copy the prebuilt test in the "Tests, Surveys & Pools" area
1. Edit Test Options
2. Change Time to match accomodation request
3. Submit
5. This allows only the student you have added to the folder to have access to this longer test

Getting Started in Blackboard

Welcome to my FTC Blog. If you are reading this you probably use UAA Blackboard and are sometimes in need of help finding tips, tricks and tools. 

I am here at FTC to help you with just that and to assist you in learning even MORE tips and tools that will make Blackboard your FRIEND! Yes I said it, because I mean it.

My theory is we have this tool and it has a bunch of great tools deep inside that, if we just look for them and try them out we can create dynamic and robust courses. You can teach online, hybrid or just use Blackboard as a organization, communication and grading tool. If you stick with me you will begin to love it! I promise!!

The plan is to use this blog for monthly updates, but also for important issues or fun new tips that I find as we move along.

So get ready! Cause here we go!!!
