Online quizzes are a frequent part of coursework for distance learning and hybrid classes. Mathematics teachers can also create online quizzes for students in traditional classes to supplement classroom teaching and aid with homework. There are many applications that can aid you in creating math quizzes, including MathXL, Mathzone, and Blackboard, one of the most widely used tools for creating quizzes and organizing results. This article will discuss Blackboard.
