Assessment Test Overview

The purpose of this manual is to guide administrator(s) on how to effectively create pre and/or post assessments. In this module you will find that you have the ability to create assessments with user defined question types, allowing for a variable number of questions that can also be randomized and associated to question rationales. Assessments are housed in a Test Library. Once an assessment has been created, test sessions are created. Test sessions are associated with a specific test. Once a test session is created, it can be associated with an instructor-led or web-based training course. The Test Library link allows the Administrator to list, create, modify, and delete test assessments. Test assessments include both test questions and test answers. Test questions can be in the form of true/false, multiple choice, fill in the blank or free form text.
