Creating Tests in Ultra Course View

This article is intended for instructors looking to create and administer online quizzes or exams using Ultra Course View.

In Ultra, a Test can either have or not have questions. For a Test without questions, students can enter a response using the Additional Content box found at the end of the test. This is similar to the HuskyCT Ultra Assignment tool, and is equivalent to giving a HuskyCT Original Course View Assignment as a Test. For a Test that has questions such as a Multiple Choice or Essay questions, student submit their responses directly to the question.
