Assessments are a powerful tool to evaluate how much your learners have understood. Based on their performance data, you can identify which sections need further refinement to ensure learners retain maximum knowledge. If learners consistently perform below expectations on specific questions, you can review and improve the related course content. This article covers how to create assessments, add objective & subjective questions, upload multimedia (images, audio, video, documents), embed YouTube videos, and display results.

Review student’s answers to subjective questions in an assessment and mark it

You can easily review your student’s answers on the assessments you have created for them on your website on Knorish. After a student has submitted the answer to a subjective question in an assessment, they will view the status as Result Awaited. Based on your review, the results will be published accordingly. To review the submission, please follow these steps:

• Access Knorish Dashboard> Courses > Courses 
• Click on the name of the course > Assessments
  

• Under Action, there are three options available
  
• Assessment builder: Takes you to the course curriculum section where you can add more sections, chapters, content like PDFs, docs, videos, and create or edit assessments.
• Assessment preview: Allows you to preview the assessment as a student, letting you take it without recording the submission.
• Assessment submissions: To review all submissions' status, check if any assessments are yet to reviewed or are unmarked and mark them.
  
• Select Assessment submissions
• List of all the students who have submitted the response will be shared here
  

• Click on Review Marking against the student's name whose submission is to be checked
• Review the submission and assign marks
• Mark Marking Complete
  

• Click Save & Close
  

Once saved, the marks will be assigned. If the student has cleared the assessment, they can download the certificate or share it on social media as well.

How to show users the detailed results for all assessments in the course?

Open the Course and head to the Publish page, under Assessments result, turn on Show Assessment result using the toggle bar

What happens when I enable the Show Assessment Result option?

If you enable the Assessment result option, the learners will be able to see the correct answer and their own selection for a specific question, if the Assessment includes Objective Questions. Here’s what the learner experience looks like:

Additionally, learners can also easily check the status of the assessments assigned to them in a course. Based on the assessments attempted, the status could be:

• Passed
• Failed
• Not Attempted
• Results Awaited

As shown in the image below, if any assessments are yet to be attempted, the results will show - Not Attempted
