For this example, we will import assessments into the system. For more information on building assessments using the Assessment Builder module, please refer to the Assessment Builder guide.

• Add a name for the assessment category.
• Click SAVE when you are finished, SAVE ADD NEW to add another assessment category, or click CANCEL to discard your edits.

• The new category has been added to the assessment management list.

• Click DOWNLOAD TEMPLATE to populate, or click DOWNLOAD EXAMPLE to view an assessment example file.
  

• Populate the file with the questions for your assessment. Please keep the following in mind:
  • • Ensure the Activity name in column B is exactly the same as the AssessmentName in column Y.
    • For single-selection questions, ensure that only one correct answer is assigned a score. 
    • For multiple-selection questions, ensure the question score in column AJ equals the sum of all correct answers.
    • For the match column A with B questions, ensure each answer is assigned a score, and that column AS is populated with a statement.
      
    • If options should be randomised, ensure the answer order for each option is 0 in column AY.
    • When providing standard feedback (in column AV), ensure that each option has feedback. Adding feedback to one option will not apply it to the others.
    • Should your import fail, download the error export file, and check the feedback provided in the Status column (column AZ). Follow the instructions to correct the assessment, then re-upload the file.
