The Assessment Builder facilitates the development of both graded and non-graded assessments intended to evaluate learners’ knowledge and skills. These assessments can be designated as scored or unscored, offering adaptable solutions for assessing learner performance.
This guide details the fields for creating or editing an assessment. Use it whenever you add or update assessments.
Assessment Setup
- Name
The title that will appear to the learner when taking the assessment. Best practice: use clear, descriptive names (e.g., “Math Workshop Assessment – May 2025”). - Description
This is an optional field that allows you to provide a description of the assessment. - References
Internal note in the builder to say that this is maybe version one or version two. It's not public to the learner in person taking the test. - Style
Leave as default selection. - Questions per Page
The amount of questions displayed at one time for the learner. For example, if you wish to format an assessment with ten questions: Two questions per page, it would consist of five pages, allowing you to answer two questions on each page before proceeding to the next set. - Post Assessment
Select this option if you want learners to receive a score on the assessment. The assessment will be graded based on whether they achieve a minimum score or cut score required to complete the course. This information will be included in the reporting.
- Scramble Questions
Shuffling the order of questions each time a learner takes the assessment. For example, what is question number one on the first attempt may become question number five in a subsequent attempt. - Scramble Choices
Shuffling the order of choices/answers each time a learner takes the assessment. - Timed Assessment
Select to set assessment time limitations.
