So if you don’t like this tool, you can continue building tests inside a lesson, using Captivate or Articulate.Benefits of On-Line Assessments:Item Analysis: You can run a report in Apex that tells you how many people missed each question, and other statistics that allow you to analyze the effectiveness and validity of each test question. You can also capture the text of short-answer responses.Flexibility: When the test is separate from the lesson, you have more options when it comes to how to administer the test.Possible uses of On-Line Assessments:Pre-tests to evaluate users’ knowledge of a subject before taking a lesson about it;Testing out of a lesson (if users show mastery of the content by passing the test, they don’t have to take the lesson);A “combined post-test” that evaluates learning after the user takes a series of short lessons about a related subjects;A post-test for a lesson where you need to produce a detailed report on the results.Surveys.Course Evaluations.Drawbacks of On-Line AssessmentsOnly 4 types of questions: Multiple Choice, Multiple Response, True/False, or Short Answer.The system doesn’t validate the answers to the Short Answer questions. When they type a text answer, the system doesn’t check whether they entered the correct text.Short-answer questions are not included in the overall test score.If this is a post-test to an online lesson, users have to leave the lesson in order to take the test.There is no right/wrong feedback after each question. The feedback at the end of the test will tell them how many they got right, and which questions they got wrong. It will not show any answers.Creating an On-Line Assessment (OLA)To create a new classroom course, click Content, then Add New Content. Complete each step in the New Content Wizard.
