What is Respondus?

Authoring

• Create WebCT and Blackboard quizzes, surveys, and self-tests offline
• Supports six types of questions, including feedback
• Import questions from text files (ideal for converting publisher test banks)
• "Spell check" an entire exam file (includes dictionaries for American English, Canadian English, British English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Finnish, and a comprehensive medical dictionary)
• Add tables, bulleted lists, font changes, and enhanced formatting (e.g. bold, italics) just like in a word processor
• Insert mathematical and scientific symbols using the Respondus Equation Editor or MathType
• Embed graphics, audio, and video without writing or viewing the underlying HTML links
• Resize graphics and convert them to JPEG format with one click
• Add links to multimedia content on other servers with the Web Links tool
• Use the Exam Wizard to create an assessment in minutes—randomly select questions from multiple files; assign point values by question type
• Create "Question Sets" in seconds with a one-step wizard ("question sets" allow questions to be randomized during an exam)

Preview, Publish, and Printing

• Seamlessly transfer quizzes, surveys, and self-tests to WebCT (multimedia components are transferred too)
• Preview questions before transferring them to WebCT
• Determine point values and quiz/survey settings offline
• Submit "self-tests" using the same files created for quizzes (no rekeying required!)
• Print quizzes/surveys directly from the software, or save files to MS Word or rich-text format
