Dial-Up Modem Users
If you connect to your Blackboard
course through a dial-up Internet connection,
you can be disconnected while you are taking
online quizzes because of "idle time
limits" set by your operating system
or by your Internet service provider.
If you are disconnected while taking a quiz,
do NOT close the quiz window. Instead, reconnect
to the Internet. In most situations, you
should be able to continue with your quiz
where you left off.
You can do two other things
to avoid idle time disconnections:
1. Before you begin your Blackboard quiz,
disconnect from the Internet, then reconnect,
and then enter your course and begin your
quiz. In this way, your session time will
be reset to zero.
2. This page opened in a separate
browser window. Keep this page open while
you are taking your quiz. This page has
been designed to refresh itself every minute.
Switch over to this window occasionally
while taking your quiz so your connection
will be active. The way to switch to this
connection is to click on the link to the
page on the taskbar at the bottom of your
screen. NOTE: Never click on the "back"
button on your browser while taking a quiz.
To do so will remove you from the quiz and
give you a grade of zero.
