An evaluation is an online training feedback form associated with learning activities. This is a multi-step process that requires you to create an evaluation with questions and then assign it to relevant learning activities.
Evaluation must be completed BEFORE ANY learner has registered for the training or it will not work. Meaning, you will not be able to correct the settings for evaluations after anyone has registered. It also should not be done on the same day or after the class has been given as that may cause errors.
You can use the Evaluations page to create and modify evaluations and their questions. Once you do, you can then assign evaluations to learning activities.
