How to create assessments or add quizzes in your course? 

Assessments are a powerful tool to understand how much your learners have understood. Based on the data on performance, you could look at which sections need further tweaks to ensure learners retain maximum information. If on certain questions learners consistently perform below expectations, you could then look at the content in that section and tweak it or explain it better. This article covers how to create assessments, add objective & subjective questions, embed videos, and display results etc.

Before you begin

The assessment builder allows you to create Objective and Subjective questions each with its own pros and cons.

• While Objective questions are primarily binary in nature such as Yes/No, True/False or Single Choice/Multiple Choice Questions.
• Subjective Questions need detailed answers which could be a one-line answer or a paragraph based.

At the same time, Objective questions allow the user to complete the assessment with the results being published immediately.

On the other hand, subjective questions need further intervention from the course publisher to check each subjective question's answer. Hence, until the answer is graded, the platform would not show the assessment results. 

How to create assessments and add objective questions?

You can create both subjective and objective questions as part of the assessment. Objective questions can be single or multiple choice. Additionally, you can add images and videos with the options in the answers and in the question to add more context to the options. Here's how to create an assessment and add objective questions:

• Access Courses in the Dashboard
• Select the Builder icon under the course where you need to add the assessment

How to create assessments and add subjective questions

• Optionally, include an image, video, or hint for the question
