Working with Assessments and Self-Tests

Interaction pages are inserted into an assessment section to test user knowledge. Results can be tracked and reported via email, Active Server Pages (ASP), or a Learning Management System (LMS).

Interaction pages can also be used as self-tests to provide ungraded feedback to a user during the course. Insert self-tests within a lesson to allow end users to test themselves on the knowledge in each lesson before moving into an optional graded assessment section.
