Assessment
The learning platform includes several assessable course elements to test the learners' knowledge, track their progress, and provide feedback to them.
As course author, you determine the assessment criteria that are necessary for the individual course elements in the course editor. With the Assessment tool, you can view or edit existing assessments and perform new assessments manually. Moreover, you can enable Performance results for your course and configure the content and format of Certificates.
Depending on the configuration, learners will be able to view their assessments in the course element itself, in assessment overviews and in the Performance results to the course.

Perform an assessment
Depending on the course element, the actual assessment is done automatically by system evaluations (e.g. course element Test with corresponding test questions) or manually (e.g. course element Assessment) by a tutor. In the Assessment tool, all users with appropriate rights can view, monitor and edit these assessments. The (manual) assessment of a course element is carried out in the assessment tool. An exception is the course element Task, which can also be assessed by Peer review.
Performance results and certificates
The performance results provide users with an overview of all assessable elements ofthe course and their personal accomplishments. Through the table view, they can see at a glance in which elements they still have open assignments. For further information, please refer to the help page Performance results.
In addition to the Performance results, certificates can be generated for the entire course or even for individual assessable course elements. Using a link in the performance results section of the course, users can then download and print these certificates as a PDF file. Various configuration options allow you to influence the design and content of the certificate and limit the view or print. For further information, please refer to the help page Certificates.
