Quiz/Survey Modules

To create a new Module, go to the KB Admin Tools > Assessment tab. You will land on the Quiz/ Survey Modules screen, as it is the default. If you have not created any modules, you will see the Add a New Module form, alone. Otherwise, if you have created one or multiple Modules, they will appear under the Add a New Module blank form. The Module sequence appearance is determined by the Sort field in each Module.

Best Practices

Here are several ways to leverage the Assessments feature on your Live site.

Assessment URL

You may relay an assessment link to your users (e.g. https://kb.wisc.edu/YOURsubsite/internal/assessment.php) by sending a URL via email, chat, news item, etc. 

The image below shows our Demo internal test site URL appended with assessment.php and highlighted in yellow.

On the live site, below the banner, you will see the Assessment page displaying Quizzes and Surveys.

The image below, the user sees a table with the active Conference Presentation Suggestion Quiz and New Hire Onboarding Survey .

To update the page heading displayed on your Assessment page on the Live site, please see the instructions at KB User's Guide - Assessment Tab - Quiz/Survey Settings.
