Process
1. Access the learning assessment section
- From the left side menu, go toIn-Person Courses, selectMeasurementand then click onLearning Assessment.
- You will see the list of learning assessments already created.

3. Add questions
Click onAdd questionto select the type of question you wish to include in the assessment. The available question types are:
- Multiple selection: Allows selecting more than one correct answer.
- Single selection: Only allows choosing one correct answer.
- Paragraph: It is useful for displaying instructions or contextual information.
To obtain the final score, you must download the results report from the platform and perform the points calculation externally. This allows you to review each response in detail before consolidating the course's final grade.
-
Open-ended text: Allows the participant to submit a qualitative, free-form answer.
Scoring of open-ended questions is done manually, since the system does not assign points or calculate grades automatically for this type of response.
Each question can be edited, copied, or deleted. You can add multiple questions of different types on one or several pages.
4. Configure the questions
- Click onEditto enter the question text in the "Name" field.

Bulk upload of questions

- Click on
- Download the Excel template by clicking the available link.
- Fill in the structure following the indicated format.
- Save the file, select it from the platform and click onStart bulk upload.
⚠️ If the file contains errors, a feedback file will be generated with the details so you can correct and try the upload again.
5. Configure advanced options
Next to theAssessmenttab, you will find theAdvanced options, where you can further customize your instrument:
- Time: Define whether the assessment will have a time limit (in minutes).
- Passing percentage: The default is 60%, but you can adjust it as needed.
- Score calculation method: Decide whether incorrect answers penalize the final result.
- Random question order: Enable this option if you want questions to appear in a different order for each participant.
- File with evaluation rubric: You can attach a PDF that will be shown at the start of the assessment.
Once you have finished the configuration, click onCreate and Editto save all changes and finish the process.
Considerations:
Results from assessments in in-person courses are not automatically uploaded to the course history. As an administrator, you must record the grades manually using one of these two options:
Individual entry:Go to the course instance editing, go to theParticipantstab and record the grade directly in each participant's record.
Bulk upload:Use the training importer. InStep 3, you will be able to upload the file with the grades of all enrolled participants at once.
Currently, it is not possible to filter only the assessments you have created. We recommend assigning distinctive names to your assessments to identify them easily in the list.
If when saving files, assessments, or surveys an error message appears such as 'Ocurrió un error al guardar' or 'el texto tiene etiquetas maliciosas', check that the texts do not contain special characters (quotes, symbols) and that the file format is the one indicated by the platform.
