Building Better Tests with Blackboard Item Analysis

The Item Analysis feature in Blackboard helps you easily refine your tests and quizzes to ensure they are accurately measuring student performance. An at-a-glance summary of student performance allows you to evaluate the quality and validity of each question with difficulty and discrimination values. It's easy to identify ineffective questions. If it is appropriate, it is also easy to update the questions and automatically regrade student submissions. In this online session, offered July 31, 2013, we viewed the Item Analysis feature in action and learn how it can help you improve your assessments.
