Timed Assessment Guide for Students
How to Open and Submit Online Timed Assessments in Blackboard
Guide for Students
There are 3 main steps that need to be followed.
1. Login to Blackboard and go to the relevant module where you will find at the top of the
Content area a folder named ‘Timed Assessment’ (see below).
2. Inside this folder, you will find the online timed assessment paper (see example below), which includes the questions and any instructions. This will become available to you at the time that the online timed assessment is set to start and remain available for 24 hours. Some online timed assessments will need to be completed in less than 24 hours, which your Module Leader will confirm if this applies to your assessment.
You can download the online timed assessment paper to open it offline on your computer.
Please remember, however, that you can remain online and if you have any queries for the Module Leader relevant to the assessment; you can use the Discussion board (see picture below) made available in the same Timed Assessment folder
3. In the ‘Timed Assessment’ folder you will also find an assessment submission link (see
example below). This will be available to you for 24 hours from the time the online timed assessment starts. Some online timed assessments will need to be completed in less than 24 hours, which your Module Leader will confirm if this applies to your assessment. To submit your exam, click on the ‘Timed Assessment’ submission link and follow the instructions you see on-screen. An example of a submission link is shown below:
