The Knowledge Check section extends Curriculum to either conduct an on-demand poll for a course in progress or the ability to review content and assess for knowledge gained. Examples of use: poll to determine the next two steps during a Point-of-View Simulation, pre-education survey, collect answers during a group game such as Jeopardy, post education quiz.
The default view has three List Views: each List View includes a set of icons to , , or . Questions (these individual questions can be used across multiple templates), Templates (group of questions), and Assignments (designating that a participant needs to complete the knowledge check). The assignment is used to group their answers. Once answers have been submitted the educator can analyze all the responses or they can click on and individual assignment that has been completed.
Add/Edit Questions
An individual question includes the HTML for the Question itself (can include multi-media), data that is used to organize the question, determine what type of answer is desired and determine the answer and desired response. Finally, each record allows for a rationale to be included.
Important data used to categorize / control what is displayed though not directly visible to the participant answering the question:
The Questions for Affiliates allows Questions to be loaded into the template that will display to some participants, but not others. Example: Nurses and Techs will both take the same course. The RN role will answer certain assessment-based questions whereas techs who attend the same course, will not have questions displayed that test knowledge outside their scope of practice.
Each question type below includes a demonstration on how the content should be entered by the user preparing the question on the left and an example of how it will appear when answering the question for a participant.
