Abstract

This article describes the development and implementation of auto-grade online chemical equation questions, created by using Fill in Multiple Blanks question options on the Blackboard Software. Five categories of questions other than multiple choice questions were effectively implemented in online assessments. This kind of questions may be used for large class online home works, tutorials, and proctored-quizzes.
