1. Question Types at edyoucated
We distinguish between self-assessment questions, knowledge review questions and final exams & quizzes.
Self-assessment questions
These questions are used for assessment, which is relevant for the personalization of adaptive learning paths. They are asked at the beginning of the learning path and determine which atoms are displayed in the learning path. Each atom can have only one of these questions.
Knowledge review questions
These questions are classic quiz questions that you can attach to an atom. These are displayed after all the materials associated with the atom have been completed. An atom can have an unlimited number of these questions.
Final Exams and Quizzes
Final exams and Quizzes can be integrated into learning paths to assess the knowledge acquired by learners. They can consist of various question types with any number of questions.
2. Self-Assessment Question Creation
You can only work on these questions in the atom. (Learn more about atoms here)
These questions are asked at the beginning of adaptive learning paths and the answers determine which atoms are displayed in the learning path. (A maximum of 5 questions are asked at a time in the learning path).
Each atom has only one self-assessment question.
Please note: If you do not add a question here, the default wording is "Are you familiar with [atom name]".
If you want to skip an atom in the self-assessment and always use it in the learning paths instead, you can specify this under additional settings in the detailed view of the atom.
3. Knowledge Review Question Creation in the Atom
You can create these classic quizzes either directly during the creation of atoms in the skill taxonomy or in the Standard Learning Path Builder.
The procedure for creating questions is similar in all cases: first select the type of question. For questions created in the atom, choose from the dropdown:
