Assessment - full feature list

This is the full list of features included in the initial production release. We have more great functionality coming soon, so check out the roadmap to find out more.  

Capability / Feature	Description
Native functionality	Author and manage assessments directly within the Learning Platform, removing the need for any external/third-party tools.
Core terminology	Assessments are the overarching container. Questions are the individual test or quiz items that can be linked to one or more Assessments. All questions are stored centrally in a Question Bank.
Context of use in the platform	Assessments appear as resources in the platform and can be used in learning experiences in the same way as any other resource.
Accessing Assessments
Who can access	Can be accessed by the following people. Native to the learning platform with no separate login required. Learning Platform Org Admins only - Full admin access with the ability to create and manage all assessments and questions within the organisation.  Learners - Access to take assessments within Learning Experiences they are enrolled on.
Top-level navigation	For admins: A dedicated Assessments icon is located in the vertical navigation menu. This is the central space for creating and managing all assessments and questions.  Please note that the new Assessments admin area is built exclusively for our Modern Admin UI to ensure a consistent and up-to-date user experience. As such, it is not accessible through the classic top navigation of the legacy interface. For learners: Assessments are only accessible via the Learning Experiences in which they are located.
Authoring and Creation
Assessment management	All assessment management is centralised within the dedicated Assessments admin area, providing a single point of control for editing and deletion. Admins are warned before editing or deleting an assessment that is ‘in use’ i.e. at least one learner has launched the assessment from within a learning experience. This is to protect against changes that may affect learner progress and/or the calculation of scores and completion criteria.  Admins can duplicate an assessment and choose whether to use the same questions, or to make duplicates of the questions too. Assessments do not have a 'Draft', ‘Ready for Use', or ‘Archived’ state as previously mentioned on the original feature documentation.
Question Management	A central question bank is available to store and reuse all questions across multiple assessments. Admins can manually create questions within the Question Bank and add them to existing assessments. Admins are warned before editing or deleting a question that is ‘in use’ i.e. at least one learner has launched an assessment including the question from within a learning experience. This is to protect against changes that may affect learner progress and/or the calculation of scores and completion criteria.  Admins can duplicate an individual question to create new variants. All answer options from the original question are copied into the duplicate question. Questions can be tagged and tags can be used to filter the Question Bank e.g. topics, difficulty, creator, age, version, etc.
Question Types	The following question types are supported: Multiple choice with multiple answers Multiple choice with a single answer Binary choice - exactly two answer options (e.g., True/False, Yes/No), where the labels are editable.
Question & Answer Ordering and Randomisation	Admins can manually reorder the questions within the assessment as desired.  Configuration options are available to: Shuffle Question Order: Display questions in a random order for each learner attempt. Shuffle Answer Order: Randomise the order of options for multiple-choice questions.
Multimedia	Questions can include images.
Delivery & Scoring
Automatic Scoring	The system automatically scores attempts based on the set pass score and, at the question level, the defined correct answer(s).
Pass/fail (Assessment level)	Passing an assessment is based on the learner achieving the required pass score.
Pass/fail (Question level)	Passing a question is based on the learner selecting the defined correct answer(s). For multiple-choice questions with multiple correct answers, the learner must select all the correct options to pass; partial selections are marked as a fail. For example, if asked to select 3 correct answers from 4 options, a learner will only get the question right if they select the exact 3 required. Selecting 2 of 4 or even all 4 is still classed as a fail.
Completion settings for learning experience objects	Successful completion of an assessment also marks the learning object as complete. Admins can configure the completion options:  Submission  (Default - object completes upon first submission of the assessment) Passed (Object only completes if the learner’s assessment score is greater than or equal to pass mark for at least on of their attempts - see ‘Attempts’ below)
Revealing Answers	Admins can configure whether to show the correct answer(s) to the learner if they failed the question. Learners are always shown their own answers and whether this was correct or incorrect.
Saving Progress	If a learner leaves an assessment without submitting their answers, their progress will be lost and they will need to complete all questions again.
Attempts	Admins can configure how many attempts learners can take at the assessment e.g. 1, 2, 5, unlimited, etc. This enables the functionality to be used for informal knowledge checks, quizzes, or as more formal assessments.
Reporting
In-Platform Reporting	Two core report types are available in the admin view: Assessment Admin Report: Shows all assessments and the number of questions, pass score, overall pass rate, total attempts, passes, and fails for each. Attempts Report: Shows all user attempts and the status (e.g., completed, in progress), time spent, submitted date, pass score, score, result, and the learning experience and object that the assessment was launched from
Data Export	All report data is exportable to CSV.
xAPI Support	Generates xAPI statements which are sent to the LRS, making it ideal for triggering Automation workflows. Statements are generated for:  each question attempt including pass/fail status of each question. overall assessment attempt and completion including pass/fail status of the overall assessment.
Platform & Accessibility
Accessibility	The learner-facing view of Assessments is designed to meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards, in line with the rest of the platform.
Mobile Support	The learner side of Assessments is mobile optimised.
External Reference	Questions have a unique ‘External reference’ field to support future data syncing and migrations.
Multilingual Support	Assessments are offered in multiple languages, aligning with the languages supported in the learning platform.
