| Assessment level feedback denotes any text, graphic, or other message a participant receives based on the aggregated scores of all items answered within the scored part of the assessment.
Assessment level feedback is often used within summative assessments to provide certificates of completion. Assessment level feedback is sometimes used in diagnostic and formative assessments to provide a diagnosis and prescription at the assessment level, but topic level feedback is probably more useful for a participant.
Assessment level feedback is formulated by assessment level outcomes. These outcomes are driven by the overall score of the assessment along with pre-requisites that are optionally set up for topics and sub-topics This means that the assessment can be set up to provide passing grades for a total score, or a total score plus a certain level of score within a topic. Typically this is used in tests and exams where a certain level of mastery of a certain topic must be achieved to pass a test, along with an overall level of mastery. For instance a food preparer might be required to take a food preparation test with a passing grade of 80% but they must also obtain a score of 90% on cleanliness to actually pass.
Perception allows you to set up numerous Assessment Outcomes that maintain the score bands with prerequisites to provide feedback and route the participant to additional assessments, learning material or information. |
Feedback is provided in formative and diagnostic assessments to diagnose issues, correct misconceptions, and prescribe a suitable learning experience. Prescriptions can include e-learning, seeking advice of a mentor, instructor-led training and/or self-study. Feedback for summative assessments is limited to providing pass/fail information and certificates of completion.
