The following types of assessment can be created:
Informal: Allows a user to causally test their knowledge and see their results before participating in a formal assessment. Users can take an informal assessment for a particular chapter or item of content by clicking the Test yourself icon next to the chapter or item of content. They are then presented with the attached questions, which they can answer.
Informal is the only assessment type selected in a topic by default.
- Formal: A formal way of testing a user's knowledge. A scored assessment in which the user is given a final mark at the end. Formal Assessments consist of multiple-choice questions, with either one or many correct answers that can be marked by the system. Admins can limit the number of times a formal assessment can be taken, as well as set an expiry date by which the assessment must be completed. Once a user has finished viewing a topic, they must take the formal assessment by clicking the Take formal assessment button on the topic homepage.
- Survey: A way of gathering feedback from users about a topic. A "Take Survey" button will appear when the user has finished viewing the topic, prompting them to take the survey.
- Comprehension: A way of testing a user's basic understanding of a topic. Comprehension assessments must be signed off by a Fuse admin, community admin, or the user's manager once the user has completed it.
