Creating an Evaluation
Select ‘Evaluation’ you will be able to see the evaluations that have already been created in your domain.
To create a new evaluation, select Create at the top right hand side of the page.
A light box will appear prompting you to enter the evaluation title, description and cover image (if required).
Once you have selected Submit the Evaluation Editor will appear where you can start to create your evaluation questions, rating system, introduction and completion.
Evaluation Editor
The controls in the ‘Evaluation Editor’ are found at the top right hand side of the screen.
- Preview – This opens the evaluation in a new tab/window in your browser as a learner would see it. The answers will not be recorded as this is simply a tool for reviewing the evaluation before publishing it.
- Update – When an evaluation has already been published and you wish to change some text, clicking ‘Update’ would update the current version the evaluation is in.
- Save Draft – This will save the evaluation in a draft state, maintaining the first version. You may then come back to it when necessary.
- Publish – This will save and publish the evaluation so that it can be used within the evaluation editor. Once published the evaluation will lose its draft state and will be ‘Version 1’, the next time it is published, it will become ‘Version 2’.
- Exit – This will close the ‘Evaluation editor’ and return back to the ‘Evaluations’ page.
Evaluation Properties
Rating System tab allows you to edit the information on the rating system for your evaluation, select ‘Rating System’ at the far right hand side of the screen.

To start inputting the questions into this page, select the Questions tab next to the Details. Here you will be able to add a series of different questions with different responses, e.g. text box answers, multiple choice answers and matrix answers. To add a question, select Add Question and a pop-up box will appear confirming the different questions you can create.
Once you have pressed Publish your evaluation will be marked as published.
The evaluation you have just created will appear in the evaluations section within Content Creation.
Evaluation Management
If you select the three dots next to the evaluation tile, it will reveal four options: Preview, Versions, Duplicate and Delete.
- Preview – This launches the evaluation in a new browser/window so that it can be previewed without any data being recorded on a learner record.
- Versions – This opens the ‘Manage Versions’ pop-up box for the specific evaluation. Version notes can be viewed here as well as previous versions. If the evaluation is newly uploaded, then this will only display the initial version.
- Duplicate – This allows you to duplicate the evaluation into a draft state, you can then edit it and then save as a completely new evaluation.
- Delete – This allows you to delete the evaluation from the system. However, please be aware that evaluation cannot be deleted if it is being used within a module.
