Creating Question Categories is a useful feature when setting up an Assessment Module in Dokeos LMS. It allows you to organize questions based on different criteria, making assessment management easier. Follow this guide to learn how to create and use Question Categories effectively.

1. Access the assessment module details

To start, go to the Assessment Module details page:

  • Log in to Dokeos LMS as a Trainer.

  • Navigate to "My Modules" and select the Assessment Module you want to edit.

2. Add question categories

On the module details page:

  • Click the "Add a Category" button.

  • Create multiple Categories according to your needs. For example, you can classify questions by:

    • Difficulty Level (Easy, Medium, Hard)

    • Topic (Mathematics, Science, History)

    • Product or Specific Theme

3. Assign categories to questions

When creating questions, the categories you defined will appear. You can then assign each question to the appropriate category, making your Assessment Module more structured.

4. Configure the assessment module

During the module configuration, you can specify the number of questions per category. This is particularly useful when using a single Assessment Module for multiple Courses.

Example Usage:

  • For a Beginner Course, display more Easy questions.

  • For an Advanced Course, focus on Hard or subject-specific questions.

5. Scores by category

One major advantage of Question Categories is that at the end of the Assessment Module, the participant will receive:

  • A General Score

  • A Category-Specific Score

This gives a clear overview of performance in each subject area.

6. Success and failure messages

Trainers can also program Success or Failure Messages for each Question Category. This provides personalized feedback and helps guide learners based on their results.

Conclusion

Creating Question Categories in Dokeos LMS is a powerful tool to organize and personalize Assessments. It enhances learner engagement and optimizes module management.

You're now ready to create Question Categories for your Assessment Modules in Dokeos LMS!
