Assessments

Assessments allows an additional evaluating of the learner besides the knowledge tests. In assessments you can make individual evaluation about the learner as the instructor of an event. For enabling an assessment about the course participants, an assessment has to be placed on the learning path. Assessments are done by authors and/or team leaders.

In the overview (Learning content → Assessments ) you see all existing assessments. You open the assessment wizard by clicking the title. Via click on the symbol of the translation area you get into the translation management of the appropriate assessment. Via clicking the national flag the preview opens. You see also the owner of the assessments.

There are the mass processing functions Copy, Move, Delete, Change status and Export for assessments. More information about these functions you find under Assessments: Mass processing functions.

The following functions are available via the context menu of the appropriate assessment title.

To create a new assessment, choose Learning content → Assessments → New Assessment. The Assessment wizard opens.
