Course Building: Assessment Activities
This help guide will explain how to create assessment activities as part of the course building process in eAssessor Pro.
To begin, you will need System Admin or Course Author role permissions on your account. These can be granted by existing System Admin users. Log in.
1. In the left-hand sidebar, go to Admin > Courses.
2. This will show all courses currently active on your platform. Click Units beside the course you would like to add activities to. The Filter Options on the right-hand side of the page allow you to search by course name.
3. Click the dropdown arrow beside the title of the unit you would like to add an activity to, then click 'add new activity here'.
4. A list of options will then appear. Click Assessment.
5. Enter a name, description and instructions for your learning content. The name and description will both be visible to the learner when viewing their units from their course overview page, and the instructions will be visible at the top of the assessment page when the learner opens the activity.
6. Select Yes or No depending on whether or not you would like your new assessment to be mandatory. Mandatory assessments are required to be completed for learners to finish their course.
8. Your assessment has now been created. Go to the Questions tab to begin adding questions to the assessment.
10. Enter the question label (e.g. the question number) and the question text, then click Save.
11. To add a file upload question (requiring learners to complete/upload a document instead of typing their answer), click File Upload when adding a new question from the Questions tab.
12. Enter a question label (e.g. the question number) and question text.
13. If you have any additional materials to help the learner answer the question (that are not a template they need to complete), click 'add supporting file'.
15. Click 'add submission'. Enter the name of the upload box being added (e.g. a generic label like 'Your Upload' or the name of the document the learner is expected to provide).
16. If you would like to provide a template for the learner to complete (e.g. a table), click 'Choose File' to open the File Explorer. Select the document you would like to upload as a template, then click Open.
17. Click Save.
19. Once you are finished adding assessment activities, click Publish to save changes and make them live for new learners.
20. Click the Publish button to publish the course, making it available to add to learners. You can also add information in the release notes box to identify each version.
Your assessment activity has now been added. Further guidance on course building can be found here: https://eassessorpro.zohodesk.eu/portal/en/kb/eassessor-pro/how-to-guides/course-building
10. Your activity has now been loaded. When you are finished making changes to your course, click the Publish button to make any changes live for new learners.
