Tests are on-line evaluations that can be used to measure a Student’s understanding of the course. Instructors add Tests and Surveys through the Test Manager page. On the Test Info page the Instructor begins creating a test by selecting a name, description, and instructions.

Note: Surveys are created in the same way as Tests through the Survey Manager. The Survey Info page functions in the same way as the Test Info page. Survey questions do not include point values or correct and incorrect answers
