Overview: Quizzes and exams are a great way to measure your learners’ progress with the learning content you have created for them. This article explains how to add quizzes and exams on Module builder. For more information on training modules, see Build training modules using Module builder.

Note: the Module builder feature is only available to customers with it included in their plan.

Start from: Learning & Development > Module builder.
 

End-of-section or end-of-module?

It is important to be aware of the difference between end-of-section (EoS) and end-of-module (EoM) questions within Module builder. 

  • End-of-section (EoS) questions are asked at the end of a section, and are better as a quick "knowledge check".
  • End-of-module (EoM) questions are asked at the end of a module, and they are a good place for a longer - more comprehensive - quiz. 

Both types of questions are taken from an overall bank of questions that are attached to slides. EoM questions are always taken from unused EoS questions. Therefore, the minimum number of EoM questions must always be higher than the minimum number of EoS questions, to ensure there are enough unique questions left in the bank.

If you set the minimum number of EoM questions to be lower than the combined minimum of EoS questions, you will get the error message "The end of module quiz doesn't have the minimum required questions.".

Always ensure there are enough questions in the shared question bank to cover the end-of-section plus end-of-module tests.

Note: If your module is short (ten slides or fewer), it is usually best to focus on one end-of-module quiz (rather than several end-of-section quizzes), for a better user experience.

 

Configure an end-of-section quiz

  • On any section within the module overview, select the cog icon to view the Section options window.
  • Under section actions, choose Edit section.
  • From End of section quiz, you can select the number of questions from a dropdown menu.

 

Create an end-of-module quiz

  • From the Modules list page, select the module where you wish to add an exam or quiz.
  • Select Exam/Quiz.

An "End of module quiz" pop-up will appear.
  • Enter a number in the Number of questions field.
Note: you can have a bank of up to 60 questions, with the maximum number of questions in the exam being 30. However, we don't recommend more than 10 questions to maintain trainee engagement.
  • Enter the Pass percentage you wish to give your quiz.
Note: our Flow standard pass percentage is 80%. However, this is ultimately up to you, depending on what you feel is best for the content of your module.
 

 

Add questions via the "end of module quiz" window

  • Select the Add questions button.
  • From the Manage your questions pop-up that appears, select the +Add question button.

Add questions via Slide options

  • On any slide within the module overview, select the cog icon to view the Slide options window.
  • Under Questions management, select View questions.
  • Select the +Add question button.

Question types

There are 3 kinds of questions you can choose from:
  • Single Choice: this type of question means that there is only one correct answer that the trainee has to select. It has a maximum of 6 possible answers.
  • Multiple Choice: this type of question means that there are multiple answers to the question asked, and has a maximum of 8 potential answers, which includes incorrect answers.
  • Drag & Drop: this type of question is similar to match-the-pairs questions. It has 4 pairs of question/answers (e.g., Step 1 = ABC, Step 2 = DEF and so on).
All answers have a character limit of 100 characters.
 
Note: make sure that the answer to the question you are asking is within your module content. If a learner receives a question that does not relate to the content you've built, it can lead to confusion and reduce their engagement.
