EdgeEX — Accessing and using Assessment Details

Use this article to learn how to access and use the Assessment Details of an EdgeEX course.

Overview

Assessment Details gives educators a direct view into the lesson and quiz settings that contribute to tests and exams. The view is available at the catalog, course, section, and enrollment levels so users can see:

  • Which lessons are in the course.
  • Whether quizzes are on, off, or bypassed.
  • Whether lesson content is included in or excluded from tests and exams.

At the catalog, course, and section level, Assessment Details is a diagnostic, read-only view. You can identify course customizations that may leave an assessment with too little content to generate, then make the needed changes by customizing the content again to include the content, if desired.

Assessment Details also shows a quiz bypass status. At the enrollment level only, educators who have the Add or Remove Bypasses permission can use a toggle to add bypassed quiz content back into tests and exams or exclude it again. Educators without bypass permission can still see the same information in read-only form so they can identify what is adjustable and involve an educator who can make the change.

Purpose of Assessment Details

When a student or teacher receives a blank screen while trying to access a test or exam, the assessment often cannot generate because too much contributing content has been removed. The Assessment Details pane allows educators to have a direct view into what contributes to a test or exam, for example:

  • At the section level, course customizations can remove enough content that an assessment can no longer generate.
  • At the enrollment level, course customizations can combine with bypassed quizzes and further reduce the content available to generate the assessment.
