40-040 Embed test

Overview

If you have created a learning resource Test and want to collect or store data with it, you have to embed the test in a course. You can embed a test either as a test or as a self-test. As a test, the allowed number of attempts can be configured, the results are saved in a personalised way and can be viewed and evaluated in the assessment tool. In addition, a test statistic is available in the course under Administration. A self-test can be called up an unlimited number of times and the results are saved anonymously. The results for the test and self-test are available for download in the course under Administration in the Archive tool.

Important Steps

Save your entries.
