Learning Assessment
Learning assessment topics contain elements that enable you to create interactive tests, quizzes, and exercises.
- Pre-Assessments
- Pre-assessments are useful if you want to check your learners' knowledge about a given subject before delivering a lesson, module, or course. Pre-assessments can also positively boost the learners' engagement in a course as they may raise the students' curiosity about the subject matter.
- Post-Assessments
- Post-assessments are useful if you want to check your learners' knowledge after delivering a lesson, module, or course. Post-assessments can be used as a summative formal examination or an informal formative assignment that reinforces the information retention.
