Respondus Quiz Creator

---

Respondus Quiz Creator is a powerful tool for creating and managing question databases and exams that can be published directly to Blackboard or printed to paper. Many textbook publishers provide a test bank, or question database, for the textbook an instructor has adopted for classroom use. Respondus Quiz Creator can be used to convert these publisher files to your Blackboard course(s).

Texas Tech University has obtained a campus-wide license for the Respondus Quiz Creator software. Respondus Quiz Creator is a Windows application that enhances the functionality and usability of Blackboard quiz, survey, and self-test tools.
