How to Offer Feedback/Answers Reports in Assessments and Forms

This feature lets you give students a personalized report after they submit a Form or an Assessment, such as an exam, self-assessment, or certificate. In this article, we will learn all the available reporting options and the steps to set up reports for both Forms and Assessments.

Forms

To provide users with a copy of their responses after they have submitted an answer to your form, go to Settings → Answers report. After someone submits a form, they can check their Answers report, if enabled, on the Ending screen. The report can be presented in three different ways:

• As a popup within the course player, that appears when users click a button
• Embedded in the ending screen, for users to see right after they submit the form
• As a downloadable PDF report

For all of the presentation ways mentioned above, you can choose to include all the included questions, only the answered questions, or only those that were left unanswered.

 If you deactivate the “Learner answers” option, which displays the user’s answers in the report, they will simply receive a copy of the form

Assessments

For Assessments, you can set up a detailed Feedback report that includes customized feedback and performance summaries. Under Settings → Feedback, you can choose to offer a feedback report to the users and tweak the information included. After someone submits an Assessment, they can check their Feedback report, if enabled, on the Ending screen. The feedback report can be presented in three different ways:

• As a popup within the course player, that appears when users click a button
• Embedded in the ending screen, for users to see right after they submit the form
• As a downloadable PDF report

For all of the presentation ways mentioned above, you can choose to include in the report All questions, only the ones the user answered, only the ones they didn’t, only those that were correct, and the ones that were wrong. 

The feedback report can include just the questions, the questions, and the student's answers, a results analysis table (the table shown on the ending screen), and the questions' feedback, depending on your choices on What to include in the feedback section.  

Under “What to include in feedback” you can choose to add to the feedback report.  

• Results analysis table: a summary of the student’s performance. You can tweak the information included in the analysis table from the ending screen settings tab How to Configure the Assessment Settings
• Learner answers: what the learner answered to each question
• Whether the answers were correct: whether the student selected the correct answer to each question
• The correct answers: what the correct answers are

• Question feedback: any automated or manual feedback added by the instructors to the question or to the overall assessment

• Question numbering: include the question numbering in feedback report

• Question score: the points earned on each question (exams only)

• Section titles: the titles of the sections the questions are divided

1. If you deactivate all options under “What to include in feedback” you can simply provide a copy of the assessment to the user. 
2. Score applies only to exams
3. Correct answers apply only to exam question types in both exams and self-assessments. Form question types in self-assessments do not have right or wrong answers. 

Question feedback and assessment-wide feedback can be provided in two ways in LearnWorlds.

To add feedback to your questions, you need to:

1. Click on Edit questions,

2. Enable the setting Provide feedback.

3. You can also enable Advanced feedback, in which you can add different feedback for each option.

To provide feedback manually to the entire assessment and even to each question, you need to:

1. Either have at least one open-ended exam question (text, file, or record assignment) or 
2. Turn the “manual feedback” setting on, to send the assessment to the Review center for manual feedback and/or grading, even if it contains only closed-ended exam questions or form question types (available in self-assessments)

Note: You can combine automated and manual feedback. This means that you can still provide instant question feedback to your students,  but also add manual feedback later. The manual feedback will even be prefilled with the automated feedback, if available, for you to edit and tailor it to the specific student’s needs.
