Tests and Quizzes - How do I help students who have been kicked out of a Blackboard quiz

How do I help students who have been kicked out of a Blackboard quiz?

If you have not selected “Force Completion” while creating the test, students should be able to resume the test as long as they have been saving their answers. For these reasons it is important to not select “Force Completion” when creating the test, and to encourage students to frequently save their answers. If a student can’t resume the test and you have limited the number of attempts that they have to take the test, then you made need to clear the attempt in the grade center.

Blackboard also now offers you the ability to submit an incomplete quiz or test for grading in the grade center. Simply go to the Full Grade Center and look at the column for the quiz. If you move your pointer icon over the cell next to the student you are trying to help’s name in this column, then you will see an icon that looks like two downward facing chevrons. If you click on this icon and then select Attempt X/XX/XX (X’s will be replaced by the date of the attempt). You can submit the test for grading by first clicking on “Test Information” and then selecting “Submit Attempt.”
