Understanding Confirmation Messages
Confirmation messages are the final piece of communication your learners encounter after completing an assessment. These messages can convey success, encouragement, or guidance, depending on the learner's performance.
Whether your learners pass with flying colors or need a bit more practice, you can ensure they receive tailored feedback. Let's dive into the steps to customize them.
For a detailed walkthrough please see this related video.
Editing Confirmation Messages
Customizing confirmation messages is straightforward and can be done at both the system and content levels.
System-Level Editing
If you have system admin privileges, you can edit confirmation messages at the system level. Here's how:
Access System Settings: Log in as a system administrator and access the system settings.
Edit Global Messages: Within the system settings, you'll find an option to customize confirmation messages. Any changes made here will apply globally to all assessments created within the system.
Content-Level Editing
For more precise control over confirmation messages, content-level editing allows you to customize messages specific to individual assessments. Follow these steps:
Navigate to Assessment Details: Go to the specific assessment for which you want to customize confirmation messages.
Access Completion Message Settings: Within the assessment details and settings, you'll find an option called "Completion Message Settings."
Customize Messages: Here, you can customize three different messages based on the user's performance. The options include messages for passing, failing, and situations where passing grades are disabled.
Types of Confirmation Messages
Confirmation messages can vary based on whether passing grades are enabled or not. Let's explore the different types:
No Passing Grade Enabled
In cases where passing grades are disabled, a single message is used to communicate the result. You have the flexibility to craft a message that suits your needs.
Passing Grade Enabled
When passing grades are enabled (e.g., 100% required to pass), two messages are utilized based on the user's score:
Success Message: If the user achieves 100%, a success message is displayed, congratulating them on their achievement.
Encouragement Message: For scores below 100%, a message encourages further practice or suggests retrying the assessment to improve.
Customizing Messages
The customization process is made user-friendly with a rich text editor. You can add links, change text alignment, and format the messages as needed to create a personalized touch for your learners.
Conclusion
Customizing confirmation messages in assessments adds a personal touch to your online learning content. Whether you want to motivate successful learners or provide encouragement to those who need improvement, the ability to tailor these messages enhances the overall learning experience.
