Step 4 - Assign or invite students
There are 2 main options for sharing and tracking courses and tests with students.
i. Create respondent accounts and groups
Respondents will have their own secure FlexiQuiz account where they can view and take tests assigned to them
You can create an account for each respondent through the User dashboard or upload a large number of respondents with our spreadsheet template.
ii. Mandate student registration
Self-registration for students works well for larger groups of students, where it may not be practical for you to create respondent accounts.
We recommend students self-register for each course and you track students through a unique identifier such as, an email address.
- Go to the Publish tab on your course of test
- Tick Use Quiz link
- Ensure Register for Quiz is ticked
- Select Customize Fields
- Add any fields that you want students to use for registration and tick the boxes to show what information is mandatory or unique
- You will need to share the unique URL with students by email or embedding within your own site, social media or contact pages
Step 5 - Track progress & results
Track student's engagement and understanding of your course using our online reporting and analysis tools.
- Track who registered for the course and the amount of time they spent reading your content
- Monitor test scores at a student or quiz level to identify strengths and weaknesses
- Reports can easily be downloaded to share with colleagues or students
