What is Testing Window

eLearning Engagement in a Transformative Social Learning Environment
the period of time during which an exam is available to students in the CMS. This is different from the actual time allowed during the test; students can start the test anytime during the testing window but will have some other time limit (say, 2 hours) to complete the test once it has been started by the student. Large testing windows encourage cheating either by allowing time for the copying or printing of tests or by working in groups, as do long periods that they can work on the test.

Abstract
This chapter is designed to provide resources and answer questions on two levels. In the first part, the authors present a menu of considerations and challenges that they have experienced when shifting an accredited undergraduate program to a parallel online modality over the past several years. In addition, they offer suggestions for working within the BlackBoard learning environment and give a glossary of commonly encountered online instruction terms. They identify some commonalities between online and traditional instruction that can serve to make newcomers more comfortable adding online teaching to their skill set.
