This article is for instructors who wish to deploy a test into their HuskyCT course.

Tests are created in Tests, Surveys and Pools tool but are not available for students to take until “deployed” (i.e., added to a location (Content Area, Content Folder, Learning Module) on your course site and the proper settings applied).

  1. Go to the location where you want to post the test. Tests can be posted in:

    1. Content Area

      Course content in content area.

    2. Content Folder

      Content folder image.

    3. Learning Module

  2. Click Assessments at top of the screen.

  3. Click Test in the drop-down menu.

  4. Click Submit.

  5. Click on the test title.

  6. Click Submit.

If a Test title does not appear in the “Select Test” box, either it does not exist in “Tests, Surveys and Pools” or it has already been deployed. Go to the Tests, Surveys and Pools course tool to check the deployment status of an existing quiz or to create a new test.

After the Test is Deployed

Once the test is deployed, it will appear in the Content location where it was added, and a column will be created automatically in the Grade Center for the grades that will be generated when the test is taken. You need to edit the Test Options for deployed tests. This includes settings for how many times the test can be taken, the amount of time allowed, and the dates that it will be available.

A Test Options help file is available which explains these settings in more detail.
