Introduction
The current platform capability enables creators to create practice questions, add them into courses and enable users to learn and practice. There has been an increasing number of asks from states to enable them to judge competency levels of teachers after completing an unit or all units in the course so that they can reward the teachers who have met the criteria set by the state.
To address these problems, in the next couple of releases, we are proposing changes to the platform to provide an opportunity for the course creators & stakeholders to a) gauze the content quality and b) validate teacher's learning.
At a high level, the objective of this work stream is to integrate assessments as a key TPD course component thereby enabling:
- course creators to design courses which include evaluation of learners’ understanding
- course creators to configure course assessments per their pedagogical needs
- users to consume the course assessments per the defined configurations
- course mentors to view learners’ assessment performance and provide interventions
Creation of course assessments - User Story 1 Overview
As a content creator, I should be able to create and publish question sets within a course which are consumed as self-assessments by users enrolled in courses.
Prerequisites:
- Should have creation rights
Workflow:
Creation of self-assessments
Step1: Course assessments will be created and published as practice question set:
- Creator to include a instruction slide manually
- Creator to include the summary plug in plugin the last slide
Step2: Tag the practice question sets as content type 'Self Assess'
- Backend script is run to change the content type to 'Self Assess'
Step3: Course creator adds the assessment to course ToC page
- New type called 'Self Assessment' will be displayed when the creator clicks on 'Add Resource'
Editing the published self-assessments
Editing the questions will follow the current process
Note:
- Content type ‘Self Assess’ should not be discoverable under resources/library for content consumers
Designs
Existing program portal will be customized per the above workflow

Context
Currently an Assessment is created as a two step process and most of the activities are done in the back end. A content is created with type as "Resource" which is reviewed and published and later the content type is changed to "Self-Assess” and made available to the user. Instead, the whole creation and publishing process should happen from the portal portal, without back end team's support
As a Content creator, I should be able to create and publish a SelfCourse-Assessment, So that it can be used in a Course for consumption
Acceptance criteria
Pre-conditions
Logged in user has access to create contentLogged in user’s tenant has Self-Assessment configured
Workflow to enable 'Self Assess' in the workspace
- The option to create 'Self Assess' content type questions is not enabled by default to all tenants.
- This content type has to be enabled on request basis
- This option will be enabled by the implementation team
Main Workflow
Verify that
User is able to see an option ("Course Assessment") in the work space to create "Self - Assess" content
Self Assess creation process is similar to the resource creation process except for the below
Add Slide, Add text, Add Shape, Add image, Add Activity options alone are available
The created (Refer UI design)
- The Summary plug in automatically gets created. This should be displayed for the user in preview, review mode and also after it gets published. There is no need for the creator to manually add it in the third slide during creation
- The below gets displayed in the preview mode
- Instructions (if it exists)
- Questions
- Summary details
- Score details
- The "Self - Assess" content goes through the existing Save, Review, Preview and Publish processThe created “Self-Assess” content is available in the “Draft”, "workflows - Draft, All my content", " Submitted for Review", Published, “Published” and " Up for Review" sections (similar to the existing behavior of Resources)The created . Note: The existing table/card structure display (as applicable) will be retained for these views with the content type name shown as "Course Assessment"
- The "Self-Assess" content can be updated and re-published similar to Resources
- The "Self-Assess" content is not available under Library/Resources for content consumers
- Note: The Course Assessment through this flow will still need to be converted to content type "Self-Assess" before it could be linked to a Course
Exceptional workflow
The older Self Assess content will retain the existing behavior
