Respondus

Introduction

 

 

 

 

 

Respondus is a program for creating assessments. Users can create an assessment, either by using the tools within Respondus or by first creating questions with text editor such as Microsoft Word, then importing those into Respondus.
While these assessments can be printed and used by themselves, the real power of Respondus comes from the fact that :

• Assessments can be published for use as Quizes , Self Tests or Surveys in WebCT.
  
• Instructors can create banks of questions for future use and well as leverage questions provided by textbook publishers and formatted specifically for use with Respondus and WebCT.
