Assessments

Instructors use Assessments to test student knowledge, measure student progress and gather
information from students. There are two types of assessments: Tests and Surveys.

Tests are created to check the knowledge and skill level of users enrolled in the course. Tests permit the instructor to assign point values to each question on exams or quizzes. When a student completes a test it is submitted for grading. The results are recorded in the Grade Center.

Surveys are useful for polling purposes, evaluations and random checks of knowledge. They function in the same way as tests and offer most of the same options. Questions on surveys are not assigned a point value. Surveys are not graded and are anonymous, which means that it is not possible to determine which user submitted answers to the survey questions.
