Seeking guidance re: Quizmaker in pre-learning assessments

Jun 10, 2011

Hi

I'm working on an internal project with my company to develop some elearning capabilities. One aspect of what we want to do in one scenario is to present learners with pre-learning assessments tied to specific documented learning objectives, which in turn map to specific focussed tutorials that would be delivered on-line.

We want to be able to record the "pre-learning" scores for each learning objective, and where the learner passes the PLA give them the option of not having to take the tutorial for that block of objectives (saving them money and time), with there still being a requirement for them to sit a final assessment of all learning objectives at the end of the tutorials.

We will be using Drupal as our CMS/LMS (so one task will be to get the SCORM results data written to the learner's profile) but the other challenge is to ensure that the scores that are used to trigger decisions about what tutorials to present to the learner need to be related to clusters of learning objectives. From my initial probing it seems that the easiest way to achieve this would be to have a short quiz per learning objective block (which would help re-use across the platform) and build the pre-learning assessment using multiple quiz maker quizzes or the Drupal Quiz module.

Any suggestions on clever or flexible ways to address this challenge?

Hi Daragh and welcome to Heroes! Does Drupal support Course Sequencing? If so, you could create separate presentations for each section that required passing a quiz. I show in this thread how you can use the same test as a pre and a post test so perhaps that is the way to go.

If you can do this all in one presentation and sacrifice tracking the initial review quiz scores from being tracked, it's really easy to use the same method I outline above for separate sections of the same presentation, provided you don't need to track the quizzes throughout the course and just the final quiz.

The latter would be easy to set up and I don't think you would lose anything in terms of what you are actually tracking since the earlier quizzes sound like they are going over the same information in the final quiz.

Let me know if that makes sense or if you have any questions.
