Litmos offers the ability to add three types of questions within an assessment:

• Multiple Choice – Giving the learner the option of one or more predetermined answers.
• Keyword – The answer is typed by the learner in a short answer format.  The system looks for keywords predetermined by the creator of the question.
• Free Text – Like Keyword, the answer is typed by the learner in a short answer format.  But unlike Keyword, a user who is an Team Leader / Team Admin, Administrator or Account Owner, needs to mark the answer as either Correct or Incorrect.

In order to mark the answer as either Correct or Incorrect for Free Text, a Team Leader / Team Admin*, Administrator or Account Owner will need to access the question in either of these two these ways:

• On the Dashboard:

• In Courses within the course that contains the Assessment:

Choose the name of the learner who needs the assessment question marked.  The marking screen will then appear with all the questions that need to be marked.  Make a comment (optional) and mark the answer as either Correct or Incorrect.

*Note: Team Leader / Team Admin can only mark assessments that are assigned at the team level.

We built out a course all around creating Assessments in Litmos, check it out here: How To: Create an Assessment.
