Assessment Building Tool
What is Respondus?
Respondus 4.0 is a powerful tool for building tests that can be printed to paper or published directly to Blackboard. Exams can be created, edited, and deployed to Blackboard within Respondus. You can also create your tests in familiar Windows programs, like Microsoft Word or Notepad, and import them into Respondus. Respondus makes it easy for anyone to save time and effort building tests—regardless of their level of technical expertise.
To get started using Respondus today, see the Downloading Respondus tutorial below for instructions on downloading and configuring the software from the Information for UMKC Blackboard Instructors organization site. All UMKC faculty are automatically enrolled in this site, which can be found in the "My Organizations" list on the Blackboard Login page.
