Blackboard - User Management - Using the Pool Manager
The Assessment tools allow you to create tests and surveys that automatically become an item in your Gradebook. Students complete these assessments and submit them through Blackboard.
The Pool Manager allows instructors to store questions for repeated use. When building a question pool, instructors can create new questions or they may add questions from existing assessments or other question pools.
In this tutorial you will learn how to navigate to the Pool Manager area and create a question Pool.
