Overview

This guide explains the learner experience when an Administrator configures the release options for Course and Scenario evaluations on SimCapture's Release Scores page.

Things to know before you begin

To access the Release Scores page, administrators navigate through: Courses > Select Course > Go to full agenda > + Release Scores. Learners, on the other hand, view their results on the My Courses page.

If necessary, administrators with editing permissions can adjust evaluations to ensure accuracy in released scores.

Release scores page options

Primary options

As an Administrative user, once you are on the Release Scores page, you will see the options available to you. These are:

• Release Date & Time
• Retract Date & Time (Optional)
• Release to (All Course Participants or Only Select Users)
• Other Releasing Options
• Select Score/Sessions to Release

Learner users will not have access to this page.

Other release options

In this area, there are three options:

When selected, this option adds a Statistics Report link for learners in the Reports box, enabling them to view score summaries with percentages, point values, or both.

The Learner will see the below *screen when they click View Results in My Courses and then click Statistics Report in the Reports box.

*All images will be shown from the viewpoint of the Learner having clicked View Results.

Release evaluation statistics report

Administrative users also have the option to release the Evaluation Statistics Report to their participants. This feature also allows the Administrative user to choose whether they want to show score percentages, show point values, or both. Be aware that Show score percentages are the default value. Upon release, participants will be able to click the View Results link in their portfolio and see the Evaluation Statistic Report link in the Reports pod. 

Once clicked, the Learner will see a version of the Learner Evaluation Score Statistics report which includes: 

• Curriculum items as columns (same as admin view and all course evals and scenarios evals)
• Question categories as rows
• Curriculum Item Total (which applies to the individual user)
• Question Category Total as a final column (again applies only to the one learner
