Instructors who adopt a participating textbook can request the Respondus-formatted question bank by going to http://www.respondus.com/testbank and submitting the request form. Once the request is verified by the publisher, the instructor will receive an email containing a file code and password. The instructor can then download the test bank using their Respondus or StudyMate Author software.

The Respondus Test Bank Network is a free service – give it a try if you’re not familiar with it. There is simply no easier way to select questions from a publisher test bank and then publish the assessment to ANGEL, Blackboard, Desire2Learn, eCollege, or Moodle. Respondus-formatted files can also be used with StudyMate Author, allowing faculty to create interactive Flash activities, games and self-assessments from the same resources.
