If you are creating a diagnostic assessment, you must select both the Diagnostic and Informal checkboxes. Informal: Allows a user to causally test their knowledge and see their results before participating in a formal assessment. Users can take an informal assessment for a particular chapter or item of content by clicking the Test yourself icon next to the chapter or item of content. They are then presented with questions that have been attached to the topic or item of content. By default, Informal is the only assessment type enabled in the topic. Formal: A formal way of testing a user's knowledge. A scored assessment in which the user is given a final mark at the end. Formal Assessments consist of multiple-choice questions, with either one or many correct answers that can be marked by the system. Admins can limit the number of times a formal assessment can be taken, as well as set an expiry date by which the assessment must be taken. Once a user has finished viewing a topic, they must take the formal assessment by clicking the Take formal assessment button on the topic homepage. Comprehension: A way of testing a user's basic understanding of a topic. Comprehension assessments must be signed off by a Fuse admin, community admin, or the user's manager once the user has completed it.
