Senario
Scenario 1  A timed online exam with tight
controls to make it more difficult to
cheat.Either you import your publishers test
bank or you create a 50 question test that you
want your online class to take. The instructions
you would provide are as follows  Students, the
exam is a 60 minute exam containing 50 questions.
  You can access it via the Bb Assignment section
of your class, between 3pm and 5pm on Tuesday
xx/xx/2008.   Once logged into the test, the
system will only allow you to take the exam only
once and will lock you out of using your PC for
any other purpose - hence no printing/emailing.
 If you log out or exit the exam, you can not log
back in to continue. You can access the exam
through blackboard. The new lockdown browser will
require you to enter the password listed under
course documents.
