November 15, 2021 | 1 min read

Exams are time-barred assessments attached to a course. A Single Subject Course supports one exam; a Multiple Subject Course supports one exam per subject.

Steps

  1. Go to EvaluationExam and click + Exam.
  2. Select the Exam Type and the Course the exam belongs to.
  3. Configure the exam settings:
    • Course Progress Must Be 100% to Start Exam — When enabled, Trainees must complete all course content before attempting the exam.
    • Exam Period — Number of days the exam is available.
    • Exam Starts — Number of days before the course end date when the exam becomes available.
    • Exam Duration — Time limit in minutes.
    • Total Questions, Total Marks, Passing Marks — Set the exam structure.
  4. Configure security options if needed:
    • Alert on Browser Minimize or Tab Change — Warns Trainees if they switch tabs or minimise the browser. Set Auto Submit Exam After to define how many alerts trigger automatic submission. See Browser Minimize / Tab Change Alert.
    • Webcam Proctored Exam — Captures webcam images at set intervals. Set the alert interval for when a face is not detected and optionally auto-submit after a defined number of warnings.
  5. Click Create.
  6. Open the newly created exam and click Add Questions to build the question bank. See Add Questions to an Exam.
  7. Once questions are added, click Edit on the exam and change the status to Enabled.
Note: Newly created exams are in a disabled state by default. The exam link becomes available to Trainees only after it is enabled.

Additional Exam Options

  • Send reminder emails to Trainees before the exam starts.
  • Allow Trainees to reschedule if they fail.
  • Allow Trainees to view their submitted answers after the exam.
  • Automatically issue a certificate to Trainees who pass.
