A Quiz is an interactive Course activity that allows Learners to demonstrate their understanding of specific Course material. Adding a Quiz Activity to your Course design supports formal assessment workflows, including the automated issuance of Certificates and/or continuing education credits upon successful completion. Learning Admins can create Pre and Post Tests, and Multiple Choice or True/False questions are available from the Quiz Activity.
