How to Customize the Design of your Assessments

Our Knowledge Base Center articles are being updated for our new platform design. Need assistance? Reach out to support@learnworlds.com


After you create Assessment learning activities (graded or non-graded), you are able to fully customize them, using our Assessment Builder in order to make the assessments attractive and make the course journey fun and interactive for your users. To change the design aspects of the assessment, open the assessment editor:


1. Go to Courses → Course manager and click on the Course outline tab.

2. Hover over the assessment learning activity and click on Edit Questions.

3. In the Assessment builder, click on Design (the paintbrush icon) at the tools topbar, to navigate to each of the following options:

Theme Explorer

On the Theme Explorer, you can choose among the Colors, Vertical Spacing, and Question Layout templates.


You can customize the assessment theme, but the default colors are fetched from the colors selected in the school’s general Theme Explorer color scheme. You can find out more, in the respective article

Background

On the Backgrounds tab, you can customize each and every background color of the assessment. These include:


a. Background

b. Assessment Container

c. Question Description background

d. Question Answer background

e. Top/bottom page shapes


You can detect the specific area being modified from the dashed lines.

Typography

On the Typography tab, you can select the type and size of each of the available options (including question description, multiple-choice labels, inputs, text areas, etc.). You can also amend the colors of the input fields, text areas, dropdowns, linear/rating, error messages, and the file upload button. 


The Typography options relate to the attributes that have already been inherited from your school's typography settings (e.g., heading 1) of the Theme Explorer—Typography.

Navigation

On the Navigation tab, you can pick the way a user navigates in the assessment. You are able to select the:


  • Navigation mode 
  • Navigation Layout
  • Previous buttons
  • Submit buttons
  • Navigation bar


The Navigation mode is related to the way the questions are displayed. This section includes the following options:


a. Classic form: All the questions are displayed in the same place and the user accesses them by scrolling.

b. Card-based: Only one question/content block is shown at a time. Only the questions that belong to the same section are shown. If the user wants to see the questions in the following section, they need to click on the next button at the bottom of the screen. If they want to go back to the previous section, they can click on the previous button. 

However, you can allow users to move backward in an Assessment. This navigation setting also allows the progression of the assessment to the next one (Auto navigate to the next question option).

c. Section-based: Only the questions that belong to the same section are shown. 

d. Card-based/ Submit as you go: The users need to click submit on each question. You can show immediate feedback. By enabling this setting, the feedback will be shown on the submission. Also, you are able to allow navigation to the previous question.

Assessment Viewer

On the Assessment Viewer tab, you can configure the settings regarding the question checkbox/radio buttons, transitions, and the appearance of the clock if a time limit has been set up. You can also directly change the text for the Pass/Fail/Pending status for exams and the Completed/Pending status for Self-Assessments.

If you click on Save and Choose the Save as School Default option, the Navigation settings will not be saved apart from the Previous, Next, and Submit buttons and Navigation bar settings.
