Creating an Assessment
Select create and then enter the title of your assessment, description and image if required.
The Assessment Editor allows you to create the structure of the assessment, create the questions and the grading.
At any point you can preview, save draft, publish and exit the assessment.
- Preview – This opens up the assessment in a new browser tabs a learner would see it. The answers will not be recorded as this is simply a tool for reviewing the assessment publishing it.
- Save Draft – This will save the assessment in a draft state, maintaining the first version. You may then come back and amend it when necessary.
- Publish – This will save and publish the assessment so that it can be used within the assessment editor. Once published the assessment will lose its draft status and will be ‘Version 1’, the next time it is published, it will become ‘Version 2’.
- Exit – This will close the ‘Assessment editor’ and return back to the ‘Assessments’ page within the ‘Content Creation’ tile.
