Adding TestGen tests to content areas

Before you can make a TestGen test available to students, you must deploy it. In other words, you must add it to a content area.

To add a TestGen test to a content area:

1. Click the course name on the My CourseCompass page.

2. Click Control Panel.

3. Under Content Areas, click the link for the content area where you want to make the test available, for example Course Documents or Assignments.

4. (Optional) Navigate to the place in the content area where you want to add the test. For example, from Course Documents, you may want to navigate to a chapter folder to add a test for that chapter.

5. Click TestGen Test in the Add toolbar at the top of the page.

6. Under Add TestGen Test, do one of the following:

• Click Create to create and upload a new TestGen test.

• Select a test from the Select an Existing TestGen Test list, then click Submit. Only tests that have not been deployed are listed. Click OK.

7. Select one of the following options:

• Click Modify the test to modify the test descriptors (name, description, instructions) or the test-taking options.
  
  Note: You must use the TestGen application to modify the TestGen test content; for example, to edit, add, and remove questions.

• Click Modify test availability to set the test availability.

• Click OK. The added test appears at the bottom of the list.

Notes:  

• To move the TestGen test to a different position in the item list on the content area page, select a different sequence number from the drop-down list to the left of the TestGen test. The page automatically refreshes and repositions the TestGen test.

• To move a TestGen test from one content area to another, you must first remove the TestGen test from its current location and then follow the procedure described here to deploy it to a new content area.
