Information

The Evaluation System is a tool that runs under Sakai version 2.2 or higher. The Evaluation System is used to conduct formative and summative (end of term) evaluations and review the results. An evaluation consists of a series of scaled and/or free text questions, which are delivered to students over a fixed time period (typically a few days).  This guide will explain how to create questions, templates, and evaluations, deliver the evaluation and view the results. Please see the administrator's guide for permissions setting and creating scales.
