Create assessed activities and recognize learner achievements.

Assessing the progress and understanding of your learners is critical in ensuring your training material and events are not only informative but effective. 

Totara Learn has a range of assessment options from a powerful inbuilt quiz engine to more formal assignment submissions. You can also upload assessments developed with popular third-party authoring tools and send scores and completion information to a central course gradebook.

Manage formal assignments

For submission based assessments, online and offline assignments can be managed and graded through Totara Learn. With customizable submission requirements including word or file limits, deadlines and number of attempts alongside workflows and guidelines around marking and final grades, the assignment tool provides course managers an automated and distributed grading system.

Build course quizzes

Totara Learn features a sophisticated quiz builder where course managers can create predefined or randomly generated quizzes pulled from question banks, alongside automated grading.

The quiz tool offers a range of question types including multi-choice, short and long answer, true/false, drag-and-drop markers and mathematical equations as well as different question behaviors such as deferred or instant feedback and certainty-based marking.

Quizzes also feature a variety of automated workflows including customizable feedback based on responses, time and attempt limits and pass/fail tracking.

Alongside the quiz builder, detailed reporting offers course and training managers an insight into learner scores and answers, allowing trend analysis across individuals, groups or entire quizzes.

Issue-branded certificates and open badges

With Open Badges 2.0 integration, Totara Learn allows you to issue and display your own custom digital credentials. Whether you want to reward a user for completing a particular activity, a course or a program, the automated issuing system makes it simple to engage and motivate your learners with visible, shareable badges.

The certificate generator allows you to upload your organization’s own logos, authorizing signatures and watermarks to create on-brand certificates. Learners can download or print their fully personalized certificates and share with peers and managers alike.
