Assessments

When you assign a scenario to a course, it becomes an assessment.

Each assessment has:

  • A scenario
  • Rubrics (by default these come from the scenario but can be changed)
  • A title (which can be different from the scenario title)
  • Instructions (optional)
  • A due date (optional)

You can assign a scenario one of two ways:

  • From the scenario: Click the “Assign” option on a scenario to assign it to a course.
  • From the course: In the “Assessments” tab, click the Assign a scenario button to choose one of your scenarios to assign.

This will bring you to the screen to create a new assessment, where you can pick the assessment title, set optional instructions, set an optional due date, and review or change the rubrics before assigning.

The "New assessment" page with two tabs: "Assessment details" and "Rubrics". The first tab is visible, which includes a "Course" name of "Clinical Practicum", a "Scenario" called "Epistaxis" with an "Edit scenario" button, a more options button, and a dropdown that reads "Linked to original file". Below this is the "Assessment title" textbox with a hint underneath that reads "Learners will see this instead of the scenario title." An "Instructions (Optional)" textbox follows and offers special formatting options. Below that a "Due date" checkbox followed by "Date" and "Time" fields.

When you change the rubrics for an assessment, it’s saved for just that assessment and won’t affect the rubrics included in the scenario.

Click on an assessment to visit the assessment overview page. This page contains the assessment details, and on the right side of the page you’ll see submission statistics. Click the Review submissions button to view the list of learners in your course and their completion status on this assessment.

The overview page for an assessment with sections titled "Assessment details", "Submissions", and "Previews". In the submissions section is a button for "Review submissions" and a count for how many submissions are "Assigned", "Completed", and "Returned".

Click on a completed submission to review the learner’s transcript and feedback. Use the dropdown at the top right of the screen to quickly switch between learners.

A submission review screen for an assessment titled "Chest Pain". At the top of the screen it says "0 assigned, 0 completed, 1 returned". Next to that is a "Return" button with a down arrow icon button next to it. Next to that is a student name dropdown with left and right buttons to either side of it. The content of the page has several tabs: "Feedback", "Transcript", "Diagnoses", and "Assessment and Plan". The Transcript tab is selected and scrolled to the top, showing the opening line for the case, and the first few messages back and forth between the learner and the virtual patient. On the right side of the screen is a "Submission details" pane that indicates the submission's status as "Returned" with a date and "See history" button, submission duration "Took 41 min", and a "Download as PDF" button.

If you’ve opted to review and return feedback manually, you can do that from this screen. Learn more about feedback:
