Testing Tool Adds Integration with Blackboard LMS

BlackBoard Learn users now have a new way to design, administer, and score tests and then share results with students.

ExamSoft has released its new collaboration tool, ExamSoft Connect, designed for use with BlackBoard Learn. The tool syncs student and course data to between Examsoft and the learning management system.

"The goal of the integration is to give educators a simple, practical way to blueprint effective exams, deliver the exams any way they choose – on Scantron, laptop, or iPad – and then use the exam results to improve student feedback, satisfy program accreditation or even inform curricular design," said David Schnabel, president of ExamSoft, in a statement released Monday.

Faculty can use ExamSoft to access test results, online, and generate reports. Faculty may also share select reports with students.
