3. Launch a Pre-course Knowledge Check

To allow participants to access and complete the Knowledge check you need to launch it first.

Socrative generates a link that you can copy and send to your participants. You can include it in the course invitation for example.

5. Students access

When they open the link to your Socrative room, all students have to do is type their name and click on the DONE button to start the Knowledge Check

6. View the results

While participants enter the quiz, you will get an overview of their names and their progression of the test in the “RESULTS” tab.

You can use this overview to keep an eye on questions that many of your participants struggle with.

When all participants are done, click “Finish”

7. Store and report the results

When the test is finished you will see an overview of each participants score in the “Reports” tab.
You can choose to see percentage (%) or a number (#) score.

You can also download an Excel file of the report by clicking “Reports”.

These numbers can be copied into any other tools your organization might use for Monitoring and Evaluation of the course.
