Quick Assessments are online quizzes you can build within the LMS to test your learner’s knowledge. They work best as part of an activity structure (such as a curriculum) so you can check what your learners remember about activities they have just completed. That said, you can also set them up as standalone activities too.
The Quick Assessment activity is comprised of question banks, which contain questions. You can associate one or more question banks with an assessment and then pick specific questions from each of the question banks to create a full list of questions.
Once you have your list of questions you can randomize the order, decide how many questions the learner must answer, set a passing grade, and more.
Note: Before you begin make sure you have created at least one Question Bank and questions as you’ll need to associate them with your Quick Assessment before you can publish it.
