eLearning assessment planner

Match the assessment to what learners actually need to demonstrate instead of defaulting to multiple-choice recall questions.

Suggested approach

Scenario or task decision

Objective

Handle a difficult customer complaint using the agreed escalation process

Assessment prompt

Put the learner in a realistic situation and ask them to choose or perform the correct action.

Feedback design

Give explanatory feedback after each attempt and allow another try so the assessment supports learning.

Watch out

A definition question is usually too weak for an application objective.
