A Quiz Stage (a type of Stage in Evotix Learn that presents a set of assessment questions learners must answer to a defined pass mark) is the primary method for assessing learners in Evotix Learn (the Evotix training and learning platform). Quizzes are the main way of assessing users in Learn and have been designed to be simple and easy not only to complete on the front end, but also quick to create in the back end. The workflow is contained within Learn and does not require configuration in Assure.
This video demonstrates how to create interactive quizzes within Learn. It covers question types, scoring mechanisms, and feedback options to enhance learner engagement.

How a Quiz Stage Behaves for Learners
- The introduction screen showing the number of questions in the quiz and the pass mark needed.
- The questions themselves, which come in one of two forms:
- Multiple choice questions - select the correct answers to a question and submit them.
- Reordering questions - rearrange the provided answers into the correct order and submit the final order.
- The completion screen once all questions have been answered, showing whether or not they passed the quiz. Between each quiz question, users are shown a "Correct" or "Incorrect" popup, saying whether their answer was correct or not, and optional feedback added by the admin when creating the quiz.
- A custom quiz with different question types.
- A featured image (stage card only). To complete a quiz stage, users must answer all questions and correctly answer enough to reach the pass mark.
Steps: Create a Quiz Stage
- In the Learn admin area, click Add new under Quiz Stages.
- Add the title of the Stage.
- Navigate to the Featured Media tab and add a featured image.
- Set the Interest categories for the Stage to help learners find relevant content.
- Configure the Stage settings in the configuration panel at the bottom of the admin page.
- See the Stage Configuration Options section below and the Configure your Learn Stages article for full details.
- Create the quiz using the Quiz Builder.
- See the Using the Quiz Builder section below for instructions.
- Click the Publish button in the top right of the page.
Stage Configuration Options
- Content Locked: Ticking this checkbox will lock the stage until the previous stage has been completed, meaning users must move through the content in a specific order. Unlocking the stage will allow users to access the stage at any point in their learning journey.
- Pass Mark: Set the number of questions a user must get correct in a quiz in order to pass. Setting a pass mark to 0 allows users to pass a quiz without any correct marks, and can be used for non-essential quizzes.
- Stage Duration: Setting the duration of the stage will give users an indication of the time they need to complete the stage. The duration is purely to help users when looking at the stages; it will not set a deadline or time limit to the stage.
