Course Element "Self-test"

Profile

Name Self-test
Icon
Available since Release 7.1 or earlier
Functional group Assessment
Purpose Course element for integration of a learning resource "test" into a course
Assessable yes
Specialty / Note Pre-configured course element "Test"

With the course element "Self-test", participants practise the content of the course and check for themselves where they stand. They take a self-test as often as they like.

Like the course element "Test", the self-test embeds a learning resource of the type Test and is configured similarly. Unlike the test, there is no tab "HighScore", and the course element does not appear in the assessment tool. If the embedded test has a cut value, the self-test still shows the success status "passed" or "failed", in the results after submission and in the performance summary of the course element. If you export the results via the archiving of the course, they appear anonymised.

If you have not yet created a test, follow the instructions How do I proceed when I create a test?

For more information on tests, see the page Configure tests. For the use in a course, the page Tests at course level is particularly important.

A more extensive alternative to the self-test is the course element "Practice".
