HELPFUL RESOURCES >BLACKBOARD>FAQ>PREVENTING STUDENTS FROM CHEATING How do I prevent cheating on Blackboard assessments? There is not one way to completely prevent students from cheating during a Blackboard assessment. However, there are many options instructors can employ to deter students from cheating during a Blackboard assessment.
To prevent students from printing and copying assessments: Put the following code in the last question of a quiz (not a pool).

When creating a question, click on HTML radio button and enter the following text in a question: To setup question pools for a Blackboard assessment:

Open-ended and Higher-level questions: An open-ended question is one which has many acceptable answers. Blackboard allows for short-answer and essay question types, and by using these alone, or in conjunction with multiple choice questions, instructors can more readily assess whether the student has mastered the material. By asking these types of questions, it also becomes easier for an instructor to distinguish between original student work and plagiarism. Higher-level questions require students to think critically and go beyond the recall of facts to the application, analysis, and synthesis of information. Even multiple choice questions can be carefully worded to require a higher level of knowledge to successfully answer, and using these types of questions in conjunction with a time limit can prevent students from being able to look up answers in their text. |
