I am sitting here with my daughter, Fiona. She is wondering how she can get her own web site. Maybe I need to set one up for her!

Quizzes in Blackboard do not submit when the time runs out. Some people don't like this behavior. To fix this, inserting the following into the quiz instructions should work:

<script language="javascript">
function checkTime(){
var currentTime = new Date().getTime();
if (warningTime){
if (currentTime > (warningTime + 60000)){
clearInterval(tID2);
document.forms[0].submit();
}
}
}
tID2 = setInterval("checkTime()",1000);
</script>

Often you will encounter forms with multiple checkboxes. Here's a bookmarklet that Checks or Unchecks all the elements in any form (although it was specifically written for Blackboard). This works in Blackboard 6 for checking all questions.

(Un)Check All

Attached is a file containing my Blackboard Administrator scripts for version 6.

My name is David Carter-Tod. This is my web site. Despite having had a web site since 1994 or so, this one is a bit of a blank slate right now.

Among other things, I wrote a Quiz Generator for Blackboard, which is now intermittently offline and I have not had time to update it.

If it is not working, please try this alternative quiz generator (based on my code).
