What Is a Retake Score?
The retake score is the percentage of correct answers a learner must achieve in order to pass a lesson. When a lesson has a retake score, and a learner fails to achieve that score, the lesson will be automatically reassigned, giving the learner a fresh opportunity to correct his or her mistakes.
And fresh means fresh. When lessons are reassigned, they're scrubbed of any answers the learner previously submitted. Knowledge checks are reset; text fields are wiped clean.
When lessons include media practice elements, learners can review responses they previously recorded, in order to improve on them, but they cannot resubmit these responses for credit.
💡 Important Note: Retake scores are not retroactive.
Setting a Retake Score
The retake score module can be found in the settings menu on the lesson overview page. Enter the minimum score you want learners to achieve, then select Save.
To disable the retake score, add a value of "0" to the field.
Setting Global Retake Scores
You can enforce a retake score across all training content in your account. This is known as a global retake score.
To enable this setting, open the admin menu represented by a cog icon in the upper right corner of the Lessonly interface. Select Settings from the list, then select the Global Lesson Settings tab. Finally, enter the percentage below which learners will be forced to retake a lesson. Your choice will be automatically saved.
Tip: Local retake scores take priority over global ones. In other words, adding a different retake score to an individual lesson will override your account's global retake score. Use this logic any time you wish to make a lesson more or less stringent.
Notifications from the Learner's Point of View
When content with a retake score requires manual grading, learners will receive emails from Lessonly when...
...content is first assigned.
...their content has been graded.
...they pass a lesson.
...they fail to meet the minimum passing score.
Notification emails are sent for each attempt a learner makes. If a learner fails the same lesson three times, for example, three separate notifications will be sent, each one encouraging the learner to retake the lesson.
When content with a retake score is automatically graded, learners will receive notifications when...
...content is first assigned.
...they fail a lesson. A prompt in the user interface will notify learners that they need to retake the lesson.
Learners will not receive email notifications when they fail automatically graded lessons.
