How to add assessment feedback

Introduction

In this article, we’re going to show you how to add feedback text to the assessment summary page, and how to enable 'Review answers' so that at the end of the assessment, learners can see which questions they got right or wrong and review how they answered each question.

Top tips before you begin

• 'Review answers' is turned off by default.  It can be enabled to show: for every learner; only when a learner fails the assessment; or only when a learner passes.
• When 'review answers' is turned on it will be viewable for any learner the next time they get to the end of the assessment, regardless on when they were enrolled on the course.
• 'View answer' in assessment feedback shows how the learner answered the question. It does not show what the correct answer should be.
• When assessment feedback is enabled, it appears automatically on the 'Assessment summary' page.  The assessment feedback is not editable.
• If your assessment contains question pools, the pool names will be listed in the assessment feedback, and visible to the learner. This makes is easy for your learners to know which topics to restudy if they did not answer the question correctly.
