Save Instructors Time

Using Diploma, instructors have all of the tools they need to create, author, edit, customize, and deliver multiple types of tests quickly and easily. Instructors can import questions directly from a test bank into their Blackboard Learn course, create their own questions, or edit existing questions provided by the publisher, all within Diploma's powerful electronic platform.

Creating tests is simple:

• Questions can be added into a new test by simply dragging and dropping them one at a time, in groups, or adding entire chapters.
• The split screen interface displays the test banks questions and the test creation window simultaneously.
• Instructors can filter questions based on publisher-provided criteria such as difficulty level, objective or section values.
• Instructors can author and edit questions of multiple types, including: True/False, Multiple Choice, Matching, Essay, and many others. Instructors can also take advantage of Diploma’s robust algorithmic engine to create questions with variables and standard math functions.

After instructors have created tests, they can be delivered in multiple formats, including print and electronic. They can be exported in Rich Text Format directly into Microsoft Word and other word processing programs or into popular course management systems such as a Blackboard Learn course.
