Offline Test
An offline test, in essence, involves taking up the test offline by downloading the attached question material. Since this test happens offline, corrections or results calculation does not happen online like in the case of an online test.
This is useful for situations where exams/tests are conducted and evaluated within the office premises. The marks can be updated online later in the Grades.
To add an Offline Test. Within a module click + (add Icon) > Offline Test.
Enter the basic information such as the name, duration, and marks in the Basic Info tab, Use the Test Lock tab to lock the test until a specific date. Resources tab is where the question paper is uploaded. You can also the mark the test as mandatory if required. (Test will be required to mark as completed for the learner to successfully complete the course)
The learner will essentially download the attached resource when he or she takes the test, evaluation happens offline and the trainer can update the marks in the grade book after the test is completed. The duration here is simply suggestive.
