Exams: create an exam

Summary

Use exams to test your learners' knowledge and their retention of your content.

Availability: all customers

Exams can contribute to a final grade for a course, or serve as a knowledge check only. A knowledge check uses an exam module, but its score does not affect the final grade. Use a knowledge check as a quick quiz to review content, without affecting the learner's course results.

See Exams: question types overview to learn about different question types available.

You create exams in stages:

Using question pools means you can re-use a pool for more than one exam, and you can create multiple pools to vary exam question ranges.

Create an exam module

  1. From main navigation select Courses > your course name.
  2. From secondary navigation select Content.
  3. From Add New Content, select Add Exam.
  4. In Title, enter a name for the exam module and select Save.

The following screenshot shows a sample Title for a new exam.

Add a question pool to the exam module

See Exams: create and edit a question pool if you need to create a new pool.

Add as many question pools as you need, to provide the questions for your exam.

  1. From main navigation select Courses > your course name.
  2. From secondary navigation select Content.
  3. Select your exam module.
  4. From the exam module's Content page, select Add QP from Library.
  5. From the Add Question Pool dialog, choose one or more question pool(s) from the list, and Save.

Review the questions

The exam module's Content page shows the question pool(s), with a preview of the questions. LearnUpon includes all the questions by default.

  1. Review the list of questions: turn off any questions you don't want to use in the exam.
  2. To change the order the questions appear in the exam, select the arrow cross to drag the question to a new place in the list.
  3. Optionally: turn on Set the number of questions to be displayed at random? if you want to use a random selection of questions, rather than every one of them. Enter the number of questions in the field.

The following screenshot shows Set the number of questions to be displayed at random? turned on, setting 5 questions from the question pool.
