Creating a self-assessment questionnaire

The self-assessment questionnaire catalog is made up of one or more question files used to assess learners’ knowledge in a training session. This element will be called up in a training session via the “Selfassessment” activity.

The “Evaluation assessments” > “Catalogues d’auto-évaluations” menu shows the list of self-assessments sorted by two methods:

  • Management by folder: Organises self-assessments by folder. A tree structure can then be set up to facilitate management.
  • List management: Organises self-assessments in a list. The nomenclature will therefore be important for finding the items created. This window contains the list of self-assessments, the search filters and the “Self-Assessment” button, which can be used to create a new entity.


The configuration interface then opens, displaying the following tabs:

  • Summary: Displays the main information.
  • Preview: Displays a preview of the self-assessment.
  • Parameters: Modification of title and status (archived or not).
  • Content: Management of folders and content to be implemented.
  • Place: Management of the folder in which to place the element.
  • Contributors: Management of users who can intervene in the self-assessment.
  • Sharing: Read and write sharing of the self-assessment with other platforms.

1. Summary tab

The “Summary” tab displays the content of the self-assessment and the training sessions in which it is used. There are also three buttons:

  • Test in real-life conditions: Displays the assessment and allows you to interact as you would in the training session.
  • Test as proofread: Displays the assessment without interaction.
  • Test as proofread with correction: Displays the assessment without interaction with the correction.

2. Content tab

The “Content” tab is used to create or add questions (from “Questions Bank (QMI)” or another self-assessment) or to import folders (QTI format).

To create a folder in the self-assessment, the user must click on the “Create a question folder” button. A window then opens in which a title and type of folder (Free Folder / Progressive Folder / Random Draw Folder / Key Feature Problem / Script Concordance Test) must be entered.

In the example above, the following questions can be added to the free folder using the “Add questions” button: MCQ / UCQ / ASSO / SCQ / ZONE / NUM / Short Answer / Essay

For more information, you can consult the tutorial “The different types of questions”.
