Before an instructor asks their publishing representative about converting their textbook testbanks to the eCollege platform, an instructor should check the Respondus Test Bank Network.

 

This network contains over 2,000 test banks for the leading textbooks in higher education. The test banks are in Respondus format and can be downloaded for free by instructors who adopt a participating textbook.

Converting an Online Exam to MS Word

 Click here for instructions

Why Convert an Exam?

» A student missed the online exam and the instructor prefers to deliver the makeup exam from a printed copy.

 

» A visually impaired student wants a printed copy of the exam that uses a large font.

 

» An instructor wants to do a post-exam review in the classroom and would like a printed copy of the exam and answer key.

 

» An instructor suspects that someone other than the intended student completed an online exam. So the instructor has the student retake the exam using a printed copy.

 

ICCOC uses a content-managed platform. 

 

Most content is currently content-managed, with the exception of exams.  

The third-party software tool, Respondus, is recommended for ICCOC faculty to use in managing their exams within a course.
