In Evaluations, users can manage all evaluations (i.e. creating new evaluations, editing, deleting, disabling, previewing their content, and viewing their versions).
Evaluations can be applied in pre-tests, post-tests or training/track/topic item evaluations.
Defining the evaluation type is not required, since any evaluation can be used as a pre-test, post-test, or reaction evaluation. This definition occurs whenever an evaluation is associated to a track/training course, topic, or class.
When associating an evaluation to a track/training course, you can define the passing and failing scores. The passing and failing scores for pre-tests are configured directly in the training course. For the post-test, the passing score in the track/training course is used for determining if the student has passed or not.
In topics, evaluations are topic items. Each topic item has a weight, which is calculated based on the evaluation score in order to obtain the final topic grade.
Reaction evaluations are applied to establish the level of satisfaction and learning of students in training, tracks and classes, allowing them to express their opinions regarding the respective courses and indicate strengths, weaknesses, criticisms and improvement suggestions.
