Adding New Assessments/Surveys

You can add new Assessments or Surveys. There are several types of LearnCenter Assessments and Surveys and they can be used in different situations. For example, an Assessment can be used as a Pre-Test for a WBT Course or as a standalone Assessment independent of other training. A User Assessment can be completed after an ILT Session by an Instructor to evaluate the Users who attended the Session. Delayed Surveys can also be sent to Users and their Supervisors as follow-up after an ILT Session.

It is recommended that you do not copy text from Word into the Assessment area as it causes submission errors.
