How Do I Add an Assessment?
Assessments can be added to the LMS (Learning Management System) and incorporated into existing courses.
Assessments are essential in a course because they measure how well trainees understand the material and help track their progress. They provide feedback to both trainees and trainers, guide training improvements, and ensure fair marking. Assessments also motivate trainees to stay engaged and prepare them to apply their knowledge in work related situations.
Before you create an Assessment, you must create a bank of questions.
