Scenario
As an admin or content owner, you want people to be able to measure their own learning or expertise around a topic or you want to assess the effectiveness of your content.
Solution
Assessments should already be enabled by default, however, if you do not see them as a platform admin or organizer in your instance from the catalog -> + New button on the right of the page please reach out to support for assistance.
Note there is also an Assessments dashboard underneath the Assignments dashboard from the menu from your profile.
To create or edit an assessment, follow these steps:
From the Catalog, click + New and select Assessment from the menu.
The New Assessment page opens with two tabs: Content & Details and Settings.On the Content & Details tab, add details about the assessment, including a Title, Description, and cover image.
Go deeper to see more details you can configure for assessments.On the Settings tab, under Assessment Settings, specify a Feedback Policy to determine how assessment takers see whether their answers are correct. Options will be:
Provide feedback after assessment completion - assessment takers see if they answered questions correctly after they've completed the whole assessment
Provide feedback after each question - assessment takers see if they were correct after answering each question
In future releases, you will also have the option to have assessment takers retry questions until they get them correct.
Optionally, set a Passing Grade for the assessment, also under Assessment Settings.
Turn on the Passing Grade toggle and set the percentage of correct answered needed for passing.
Back on the Content & Details tab, scroll down to the Assessment Questions section to add or edit questions on the assessment.
Open the context menu (button with three dots) for the Assessment Questions header. You can do the following:Select Add Question to create a new multiple choice or short answer question. The question text supports rich formatting, including images.
In future releases, you will also be able to add an existing question to your assessment from a question bank. The question bank will include all questions previously created for any assessment.Select Add Section to add a section to the assessment for organizational purposes.
Click Publish (or Save if you are editing an existing assessment).
