Respondus New License

For those of you who are currently using the Respondus 3.5 (or 4.O beta) test creation software, you will need a new license number after July 31 in order to continue to use the site license version of Respondus. This is a great tool and I use it for all the test creation I do. It is great! It saves you tons of time and you just use a Word Document to initiate the process! Slick!

Please contact Carol Karnitz(carol.karnitz@nhcc.edu) to get the license number.

The new full version 4.0 (not released yet) will have the ability to auto export quizzes to your D2L courses but that is not quite ready for release. Whoohoo, can't wait for this!

Here is a link to a pdf with some of the features, visit Respondus

There is also the Respondus Test Bank Network that provides instructors a central location for obtaining publisher test banks that are in Respondus format. Test Bank

Contact me with questions or Carol for set-up. The Online Teaching Best Practices Sharehouse D2L course has all the directions for set up too!
