North Central's Blackboard system will be down all day on Monday, December 17th for an upgrade of the software to version 6.3.
While there are many enhancements and additions to the Blackboard software in this new version, here are a few of the highlights, along with the section of the Blackboard 6.3 Instructor Manual where you can learn more about the feature:
- an online Syllabus Builder [pp. 87 - 88]
- ten new question type for assessments (Calculated Questions, Numeric
Response Questions, File Response Questions, Hot Spot Questions,
Multiple Fill-in-the-Blank Questions, Jumbled Sentence Questions,
Opinion Scale Questions, Short Response Questions, Either / Or
Questions, and Quiz Bowl Questions) [pp. 240 - 250]
- an optional new way to calculate the final score in the Grade book
called Running Total/Running Weighted Total. This option displays the
total based only on completed items [pp. 274 - 278]
