You use Respondus 4.0 because it saves time creating exams, right? Well, be sure to take advantage of the biggest time-saver that Respondus 4.0 offers: the Respondus Test Bank Network.
Test banks for thousands of the leading textbooks in higher education are available from the Respondus Test Bank Network. These are the official test banks from publishers including Pearson, Cengage, McGraw-Hill, Wiley, and dozens more. Each test bank is available in the ready-to-use Respondus format and they are FREE to instructors who adopt a participating textbook for their course. And, if you use StudyMate Author, the same test banks can be used to create learning activities, self-assessments and games.
Here’s how it works:
• Go to the Respondus Test Bank Network at www.respondus.com/testbank
• Search for the textbook being used in the course
• Fill out the request form completely and submit it
The request is immediately sent to the publisher for confirmation and approval. Once approved, the instructor will receive an email containing the File Code and Password for downloading the test bank. The test bank is then downloaded within Respondus or StudyMate Author using these steps:
• Select “Open” from the Start menu
• Select “Download Test Bank”
• Enter the File Code, Password, etc., and click “Download”
That’s it! The publisher test bank will start downloading to the “Projects” folder. If using Respondus 4.0, you can use the Exam Wizard to select questions from the test bank, or you can supplement the questions with some of your own. Then, you are just a few clicks away from publishing the exam or learning activities to an online course in Blackboard, ANGEL, Desire2Learn, Moodle, and several other systems.
