How Quizzes Work
The Learning Management System comes with a built in quiz and form feature which organizers can create for Members to fill out.
When creating a form, organizers can choose between a standard membership form or a quiz. Membership forms are not graded, making them ideal for data gathering purposes such as course feedback. Quizzes are graded and can be set to require a percentage to pass.
