Assessment Sections
Assessment sections are special sections designed specifically for testing. They support scoring, pass/fail thresholds, attempt limits, and can report results to your LMS.
How assessment sections differ
Section titled “How assessment sections differ”Unlike regular content sections, assessment sections have specific constraints that keep learners focused on the test:
| Feature | Content section | Assessment section |
|---|---|---|
| Allowed block types | All 19 block types | Text, Image, and Knowledge Check only |
| Scoring | No scoring | Questions scored automatically |
| Attempt limits | Not applicable | Configurable (1 to unlimited) |
| LMS reporting | Completion only | Score and pass/fail status |
Each course can have one assessment section. It appears at the end of the course structure.
Creating an assessment section
Section titled “Creating an assessment section”- In Course Overview, click Add Assessment
- The assessment section is created with a default title
- Add lessons to the section, then add knowledge check blocks to those lessons
- Click Configure Assessment to set passing scores and attempt limits
Adding questions
Section titled “Adding questions”Inside an assessment section, you can add three block types:
- Text - for instructions, context, or scenario descriptions
- Image - for visual aids, diagrams, or scenario images
- Knowledge Check - the scored questions themselves
Only knowledge check blocks count toward the assessment score. Text and image blocks provide context but don’t affect scoring.
Configuring the assessment
Section titled “Configuring the assessment”Click Configure Assessment on the assessment section header to open the settings dialog. You can configure:
- Passing score - set as a percentage (e.g., 70%) or a question count (e.g., 5 of 10 correct)
- Maximum attempts - limit how many times learners can retake the assessment (set to 0 for unlimited)
- Randomize question order - shuffle questions each attempt so learners see them in a different order
- Show feedback - display correct/incorrect feedback after each question
- Show results - display a final results screen with the learner’s score after completion
Default settings
Section titled “Default settings”| Setting | Default |
|---|---|
| Passing score | 70% |
| Maximum attempts | 3 |
| Randomize questions | Off |
| Show feedback | On |
| Show results | On |
Assessment autoscroll
Section titled “Assessment autoscroll”By default, after a learner answers a question in an assessment section, the player automatically scrolls to the next question. You can disable this behavior in Theme > Layout > Assessment Autoscroll.
When autoscroll is off, the next question is still unlocked and focused for keyboard accessibility, but the page does not scroll. This lets learners navigate at their own pace.
Conclusion page
Section titled “Conclusion page”You can add an optional conclusion page below the assessment — a customizable page shown to learners after they pass. Use it for congratulations messages, next steps, or additional resources.
Unlike assessment lessons, conclusion pages support all block types. See Conclusion Page for details.
Deleting an assessment section
Section titled “Deleting an assessment section”Deleting an assessment section removes the section, all its questions, and the conclusion page (if one exists) permanently. A confirmation dialog ensures you don’t delete it accidentally.
