Using Online Question Banks

The latest release of Respondus has an excellent new feature that simplifies the process of using textbook publishers’ question banks. These supplementary resources have been available from publishers for some time but now incorporating them into eClass courses has become much easier.

Respondus is centrally supported Windows software, available as a free download from the CTL website for U of A faculty and staff. The program will walk you through accessing your publisher’s question banks, allow you to manipulate and organize questions, and then publish questions directly into quizzes in your eClass courses. See http://www.ctl.ualberta.ca/elearning/eClass/respondus.php for more details on how to download and use this tool.

If you have any problems or questions about how to get started using Respondus, don’t hesitate to email us at respondus@ualberta.ca.
