A lecturer in Biology teaches students to use the statistical software package 'Minitab'. He is using a Blackboard quiz a mechanism to mark their work in the computer lab and give them some feedback.
Students download a Minitab file from Blackboard, carry out tests on the data it contains and enter answers into the Blackboard quiz which marks their answers.
For the first iteration a manual check of the answers and rescoring has been necessary, but the answers can be improved upon in future iterations. Once the scores have been checked, the marks, and even the feedback be released to students. The Minitab file can be amended and the quiz slightly adjusted to produce a new test.
The final exam will include an extended version of this exercise.
