User manual

Availability:

Define when users are able to access your Test or survey. Make them Available or Unavailable, or set a specific date range.

Attempts:

Define how many times each user can attempt a Test or survey. Note: If a Test includes Essay Questions a new attempt cannot be started until the previous attempt has been graded.

Instructions:

Give respondents instructions before they take your survey or exam.

Time limit:

Define a time limit in which an attempt must be completed.

If a user goes over the allowed time limit the Test/survey will be automatically closed and set to 'finished'.

Note: The format for time is in minutes. For example, 1 hour and 20 minutes would be displayed as "80".

Resume Later:

Choose whether users are allowed to save their progress in the middle of an attempt and then come back at a later stage to complete their Test or survey.

Note: When assigning via Link, users will be prompted to enter their email address and create a password. These two pieces of data will be used to login and resume the Test/survey from the original Link.

Display Questions:

Define the number of Questions to be displayed on each page. You can display up to a maximum of 10 Questions per page.

Randomize:

Choose for Questions to be displayed in random order each time a Test is taken. Useful for cheat prevention. Please note: Although randomization is available for surveys, it is recommended for tests.

Note: You can also have Questions selected at random from your Question bank each time your Test is taken, see Randomly selected Questions

Answers:

• Define whether users must attempt each Question before progressing. Unanswered Questions will trigger an alert message prompting the user to answer all Questions before progressing.
• Define whether users must answer each Question correctly in order to progress through a Test. When switched on any incorrect answer provided will automatically finish the Test.
• Define whether users can see feedback on their responses as they progress.
• Define whether users can freely move back and forth through a Test or survey, or whether they can only move forward as they answer each Question.

Results Page:

This setting defines what will be displayed to users once they complete their Testor survey.

Pass Mark & Feedback (for tests):

Define what grade must be achieved to pass the Test. Then enter feedback to be displayed for Pass or Fail marks.

Note: For Tests assigned via Link you can also include Return Links - a URL to direct the user to another web page (for example, your website, or perhaps a resource website for users who fail the Test).

Certificate:

Define whether the Certificate is shown always on Test or survey completion, or only when the user passes a Test (Pass Mark must also be defined).

Choose what information is displayed on each Certificate. Optional auto-populate fields: user's name, Test/survey name, Test score and date. Plus, there are custom text fields for Test/survey and organization information.

Email:

Define whether your users' results are sent to the email address registered under your ClassMarker account.

Note: The registered email address must be verified in order to receive these emails. Verify your email address by going to the My Account page, expand the section titled 'View and edit my details' and select the link 'Send verification email' (this link will only be displayed for unverified email addresses). An email will be sent to your email address, select the link provided to complete the verification process.

For Tests assigned via Link you can also choose to send results to other email addresses. Manage these addresses under the My Account page. Once the 'Extra email addresses' have been verified they will appear under this setting.

Users results can also be sent to their registered email address.

Printing:

Choose to display disable printing of Results.

Additional Link Settings

Tests/surveys assigned via Link have a few additional settings that can be defined to meet your requirements.

Restrictions:

Set a password for your test or survey. Users must enter it to gain access.

Alternatively, apply an Access List. Access Lists enable you to restrict exactly who can access your Test or survey via a custom list of access codes you create.

User Info:

Define what user information is collected prior to starting. There are three pre-defined options that can be chosen:

• First name
• Last name
• Email address

Note: Results must be set to save in order for user information to be collected.

Custom Info:

Create custom Questions for users to complete prior to starting. This can be any information you require, for example, student/employee IDs, company department, or perhaps a Question such as 'How did you find out about us?'.

Note: There is a maximum character count of 255 for both Question and answer fields and there is a maximum of five 'Extra information Questions' available.

Save Results:

Choose whether results are saved to your account.

Note: When results are set to save no advertising will display and one credit will be used.

Themes:

Use this setting to apply a Theme to your Test or survey. This enables you to remove ClassMarker branding and apply your organization's own logo and colors.

Save Default Settings

Default Settings can be saved and are then automatically pre-set each time you assign a Test or survey. Further customization can still be implemented if required during the Assign process.

Note: Edits to Default Settings won't affect current settings. They will only apply to tests or surveys assigned in the future.
