4.1 Creating a Quiz or Written Assessment

LAAMP allows Publishers and Administrators to create engaging and structured assessments using a variety of question formats. These assessments can be included within Standard Courses and are essential for verifying knowledge, understanding, and compliance.

This page outlines how to create a quiz or written assessment using LAAMP’s content editor.

Creating a Quiz Flow

5. Click Save

Repeat as needed to build a full assessment.

Tips for Effective Quizzing
