Assessments are used to measure the students’ knowledge. The Administrator can specify an end date for the assessment, so that the students do not undertake it after its determined time, however, the system gives the permission to the Administrator to allow the students to pass the end date as appropriate. The Administrator can also evaluate the students’ knowledge by using different types of questions that are available through the system, requiring the students to submit a handout, or by uploading a SCORM file as a material resource.
