Issue/Question

How do I create a matching question within a Blackboard assessment?

Environment

• Blackboard

Resolution

1. Click the plus sign in the middle of the page to start creating the assessment.
2. Click Add Matching question.
3. Enter Question Title.
4. Enter Question Text.
5. Enter Prompt and Answer.
   Note: Insert your note within this text. Students pair items in the Prompt column to items in the Answer column. The number of items in each column doesn't have to be equal because you can reuse answers and add additional answers. Additional answers that don't match any of the prompts can increase the question's difficulty. 
6. Click Save.
