Assessments & Quizzes
Build quizzes, assignments, and exams to test what learners know — auto-graded or hand-graded, with attempts, timers, proctoring, leaderboards, and detailed analytics.
Assessments are how you check what your learners have understood. This section covers quizzes, assignments, and exams — from a quick five-question check to a timed, proctored final. Many question types grade themselves the moment a learner submits, so you can give instant feedback without lifting a finger. Others you grade by hand with your own comments and scores.
What you can build
| Assessment | What it is | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Quiz | A set of questions of many types, with timers, attempts, and instant or manual grading. | Knowledge checks, practice tests, graded exams. |
| Assignment | A task where learners submit text and/or files, which you score by hand. | Essays, projects, file submissions, take-home work. |
| Exam | A quiz placed inside course content as a graded assessment that feeds the final grade. | Midterms, finals, end-of-term tests. |
