Authoring Assessment Questions

Authoring Assessment Questions

As a Hospital administrator you can author your own Assessment questions by clicking the red pencil icon on the top right corner of an assessment icon.    
NOTE: You can only author one training module assessment at a time.

Authoring tool tabs 

Clicking on an Assessment's red pencil icon will display the name of the Assessment you are authoring and the following four tabs :

1. K2 Questions
2. Published Questions
3. Draft Questions
4. Add New Question
Displays the bank of questions already available and included in this assessment for your users. These questions cannot be edited by hospital administrators.
Displays the questions you (or a another hospital admin) have composed and ‘published’ to your users.
Displays questions that have been started but have not been published yet.
Will allow an admin to create and add a new question. Questions can either be multiple choice or a list of true/false options.

1. K2 Questions tab 

Clicking on the K2 Questions tab will allow you to view the bank of questions already included in the chosen assessment. Please review these questions before adding your own. Typing in the search box at the top of the K2 Questions tab will search through and return the questions matching your search. These questions cannot be edited by hospital administrators.

2. Published Questions tab

This tab lists a table of questions that either you or another admin has created and published for your users.  

A question table shows the primary question, followed by it's associated options. True options are marked with a green tick. Each option has a recommended review section assigned to advise the user which area to review if the option is marked incorrectly.  

The Stats percentage column indicates how well or poorly a particular question option is being understood and correctly answered. The percentage is calculated by (the number of users correctly identifying this option/ the total number of users attempting the question)

Editing a question 

You can edit a published question by clicking the ‘edit’ button.  This will display the question in 'edit' mode as shown below.

While in edit mode, you can edit the primary question text, the associated option text, and/ or choice of revision area associated with a listed option. You can also:
  • Cancel your edit
  • Delete the question
  • Add or remove a supporting image
  • Format a selected word in either the question   or listed options as superscript or subscript.
  • Remove a listed option
 A tick box to the right of each listed option is used to indicate if this option is a correct choice that will be awarded a point.  

At the end of the Question table you can revert the published question to draft status by unticking the 'Publish Question' tick box. You can also mark the question as mandatory by ticking the 'Mandatory Question' tick box.

On changing any question property you will be prompted to add an ‘Edit Reason’ at the bottom of the table. This text is logged against every change for historical purposes should a problem arise.
Note: you can only edit one question at a time, if you decide not to make a change to the question click the ‘Cancel Edit’ button. 

3. Draft Questions tab 

Before questions are published they can be saved as a ‘draft’ . When you are satisfied that the question is complete, tick the ‘Publish Question’ check box and choose ‘save’.   

4. Add new Question

You can create either Multiple Choice or  True / False questions.  
Both options will show the same form but will behave differently when displaying to a user. 

Add new Question Form 

Use this form to create your question and listed question options.  

You can add a reference image by clicking on the 'Add Image' button.   

For each question option you can: 
• tick which option is correct by selecting the ‘Correct/True Answer’ check box.  
• Select a subject area for review from the Training Review drop down box. The selected subject area will be recommended to the user for revision if an incorrect answer is recorded. 
The red help bubbles (red circle with a question mark) will guide you as to what is required for each area.

At the end of the form you can tick the 'Publish Question' tick box to make the question available for users as soon as you click the 'Add Question' button. Leave this checkbox unchecked before clicking the 'Add Question' button if you would prefer to continue working on the question. It will then be saved to the draft questions tab. 

Ticking the Mandatory Question check box will force the question to be included in the assessment each time for all users
