What are achievements?

You can use Blackboard achievements to create opportunities for students to earn recognition for their work. You designate criteria for issuing achievements to students in the form of both badges and certificates.

Students can see which badges and certificates they have earned and what is required to receive additional recognition. They can gain insight into learning progression toward defined competencies.

Students can publish badges to the Badge Backpack and transport evidence of their learning outside of Blackboard Learn.

Instructors can create three types of achievements:

Course Completion (requires a certificate; a badge is optional) Milestone (badge only) Custom (can be either a certificate or a badge)

How to create an achievement?

Respondus Monitor is the AUS Exam proctoring tool. Respondus LockDown Browser is a customized browser which increases the security of test delivery in iLearn (Blackboard). When students use Respondus LockDown Browser to access an exam, they are unable to print, copy, go to another URL, or access other applications. This prevents students from using instant messaging programs, search engines or any other digital resource during the examination. LockDown Browser will directly go to the iLearn (Blackboard) login page. Students will then login...

Part I: Test Room Specific Precautions

If you have scheduled an online test/exam, please do the following:

The IT specialist assigned will depend on where the exam will take place. Please see Appendix (i) for more details.

You are advised to hold online examinations in a lab environment to safeguard against limitations inherent within our wireless networks.
