Within Setup, you have an overview of the following categories:

• Setup
• Time
• Manage tests

Setup

1. Click the Setup tab.
2. Add an Assessment Name for your path.
3. Select an Organizational unit.
4. Write a Short summary.
   • Generally, a one-line summary of the course. Maximum 160 characters.
   • This is shown in the candidate dashboard under “Introduction”.
5. Add Test information 
   • Generally, curriculum descriptions.
   • This is shown in the candidate dashboard under “Test information”. 

Time

When creating an Assessment path, you can set the start and end times for the entire path, also referred to as the Assessment level. 

1. To set a start time, select Start date and time.
2. To set an end time, select End date and time.

Manage tests

It's important to note that the tests within the Assessment path will not automatically become available at the start time of the Assessment path. Each test also has its own start and end time, and these times must fall within the start and end time of the Assessment path. In other words, the test can only be accessed during a specific time frame within the overall time frame of the Assessment path.

Within Manage tests, you can Create new test or Add tests.

Example: ARTH: Art History 101, is a course running from December 1st, 10:00 AM to May 31st, 2023 12:00 PM. The Assessment path contains the following tests:

• Prehistoric Art: January 2nd, 10:00 AM to 23:45 PM
• Medieval Art: February 1st, 10:00 AM to 23:45 PM
• Renaissance Art: March 1st, 10:00 AM to 23:45 PM
• Baroque Art: April 3rd, 10:00 AM to 23:45 PM

Create new test

If you create a test within the AP, the test will act as a placeholder with only the Name, Start/End date, and Start/End time. 

1. To create a new test, click Create new test.
2. Fill in the following fields:
   • Name
   • Start date/time
   • End date/time
     Information: The start and end time of the test needs to be within the start and end time of the Assessment path.
3. To view your test options, under options, click More.

Add tests 

1. To add a test, click Add tests.
2. Select one or multiple tests by selecting the Title checkboxes. Click Add tests to add them to the Assessment path. Only those tests will appear that have start and end times within the start and end times of AP.
   Information: A test can only be connected to one Assessment path. To view your test options, under options, click More. 

Columns within Test setup

Columns within Manage tests include the following:

• Name: Test name
• Status: Test status, which could be one of the following
  • Active
  • Created
  • Scheduled
  • Locked
  • Executing
  • Finished
  • Deleted
  • Archived
  • Graded
• Start date: Test start date and time. Sort tests by their start time by clicking Sort .
• End date: Test end date and time. Sort tests by their end time by clicking Sort .
• Options: 
  • View in Deliver: Continue editing/adding test information.
  • View in Monitor: Monitor candidate progress.
  • View in Marking: Get an overview of candidate results.
  • Remove: Remove the test from the Assessment path.

Within Contributors, you have an overview of the following categories:

• Contributors

Contributors

You can decide who will contribute, and what roles they have in the context of the Assessment path: Author, Reporter, Chief invigilator, Invigilator, Grader, and Planner.

When adding contributors, you can add contributors directly to the Assessment path. The creator of the Assessment path is automatically added as a contributor to the Assessment path.

Add contributors

1. To add contributors directly to the Assessment path, click Add contributors.
2. Search to add contributors with the specific roles you want them to have in the context of Assessment Path.

Within Candidates, you have an overview of the following categories:

• Candidates on Assessment path
• Candidate distribution
• Manage candidates

Information:

• You can add all candidates from the Assessment path to the tests.
• You can have different candidates on different tests.
• Skip adding candidates on the Assessment level, and only add them to the tests, in case there is no need for marking on the Assessment level.
• By adding Unique candidates to individual tests outside of the Assessment path, we can allow candidates who are not included in the path to take the same test as those who are. This saves time and avoids the need to set up a separate test for these individuals. For example, a candidate who failed a specific exam from a course module in the previous year does not need to re-take all assessments for that course, but only the one they failed. This feature provides greater flexibility and efficiency for managing candidate testing.

Candidates on Assessment path

Within the category Candidates on Assessment path, you are given an overview of the following:

• Candidates on Assessment: Number of candidates added to the Assessment.
• Not added to any tests: Number of candidates not added to any of the tests.

Candidate distribution

The candidate distribution gives an overview of the following:

• Test: The name of the tests.
• Status: The status of a test at any point in time. 
• Total candidates: The number of candidates on the given test.
• On Assessment: The number of candidates who are assigned to the Assessment.
• Unique: The number of candidates who are assigned to the test, but not the Assessment.
• Not assigned: The number of candidates who are not assigned from the Assessment to the test. 
• Assign: Click Assign to test to assign all candidates on the Assessment to the tests.

Example: 

A test has 10 candidates,

• Out of which 7 are part of the AP as a whole and also assigned to the test.
• Out of which 3 are unique, which means they are on the test, but not part of the Assessment as a whole.

This would mean,

• Total Candidates: 10
• On Assessment: 7
• Unique: 3
• Not Assigned: 0

Manage candidates

To assign candidates from the Assessment to a test, click Assign to test on the row of the test. This will transfer all candidates from the Assessment to the test.

Within Grading, you have an overview of the following categories:

• Grading
• Setting final result
• Manage tests

Grading

Please keep in mind that when there are multiple graders assigned to a test within an Assessment, we suggest that each grader aligns the points, instead of grades, at the test level and enabling the threshold feature. Here's why:

• This ensures that the overall grade for the Assessment is calculated accurately while preserving the individual performance information for each test.
• It allows for the evaluation to happen at the right stage, where the graders with the required subject matter expertise to evaluate a specific individual test, are available.  

Grading on parent

You can choose whether to grade Assessments as a whole or not, by enabling or disabling Grading on parent. 

On enabling Grading on parent, you have the following settings that appear: 

1. Explanations
2. Main Evaluation Type 
3. Manual Marking

Explanations

You can choose to Enable the administration of explanations. You have the following options:

• Request explanations
• Allow Graders to send explanations directly to candidates
• Set deadline for explanation

Main evaluation type

You can choose between the following evaluation types for the final evaluation for Assessment as a whole:

• Grade: A Grade will be used as a final result for the assessment path
• Points: The total points earned by a candidate on the Assessment as a whole would be used as their final score, and it is not converted into an equivalent grade. The final score is calculated based on the method chosen in Calculation of points. 

Manual marking

You can choose to have manual marking Disabled or Enabled.

Information: 

• When selecting Grade, you have the option to select a grading scale for the Assessment as a whole and configure thresholds to allow automatic grading.
• When selecting Points, the grading scale and thresholds are disabled.

Setting final result

Calculation of points

When setting the final result, you can choose whether points will be calculated based on the total points, or test weight.

• Sum of points: The final result will be based on the sum of achieved points across all tests of the assessment.
• Test weight: The final result will be based on the achieved points on all tests and will be weighted by given test weights. The weights are expressed as % and sum up to 100%.

Threshold values

You can use Threshold values to calculate the final grade. 

1. Toggle between Disabled/Enabled.

Manage tests
