Standalone Admin Evaluations allow administrators to assess participants independently of a simulation scenario or session. This feature is ideal for evaluating administrative tasks, compliance, or general performance without linking the evaluation to a specific simulation event.

Overview

A Standalone Admin Evaluation is created under a scenario but functions independently of scenario-based scoring. It requires:

• At least one administrator (as a contributor)
• At least one participant (to be evaluated)

This setup ensures that evaluations can be assigned and completed without impacting scenario grades or course completion percentages.

Key Points

• The purpose of this evaluation is to link administrators (evaluators) to participants (evaluatees).
• Multiple evaluations can be created under the same scenario.
• Additional questions can be added to each evaluation.
• Incomplete evaluations do not affect participant gradebooks.
• Scoring rubrics cannot be used with this evaluation type.

Benefits

• Flexible evaluation outside of simulation scenarios.
• Supports compliance and admin assessments.
• Easy assignment and tracking for evaluators and participants.
