Learning Management Systems Flashcards

An instructor wants to give students a self-assessment quiz that does not count toward their grade but still shows them which answers they got wrong. The correct LMS setting is to:

Answer: Set point value to zero and enable show correct answers after submission

Setting point value to zero removes grade impact while enabling answer feedback after submission provides formative learning value.

A student with a documented disability requires 1.5x extended time on timed assessments. In most LMS platforms, the instructor handles this by:

Answer: Using the accommodation/moderate students tool to set an individual time override

The moderate students or accommodations tool allows instructors to set per-student time extensions without altering the quiz for the rest of the class.

Which LMS feature allows an instructor to see a visual snapshot of which learning outcomes most students have and have not yet mastered?

Answer: Learning mastery gradebook or outcomes report

The learning mastery gradebook or outcomes report aggregates performance data across assessments to show class-wide proficiency on each outcome.

A course is being redesigned and the instructor wants to reuse a question pool of 200 items across multiple quizzes. The BEST LMS feature for this is:

Answer: Question bank or item pool

A question bank or item pool stores reusable questions that can be drawn from randomly or selectively across multiple assessments.

When an instructor 'mutes' an assignment in the LMS gradebook, what effect does it have?

Answer: Hides posted grades from students until the instructor unmutes

Muting an assignment prevents students from seeing their grades in the gradebook until the instructor is ready to release all grades at once.

An LMS 'cohort' or 'section' feature is PRIMARILY used to:

Answer: Organize students into separate class groups within the same course for communication and pacing purposes

Sections or cohorts within an LMS allow separate pacing, announcements, or grading for sub-groups of students sharing the same course content.

An educator notices that a SCORM module shows 'completed' for every student after only 10 seconds. The MOST likely cause is:

Answer: The SCORM package's completion trigger is set to 'launched' rather than a time or score threshold

SCORM completion triggers can be set to 'launched,' 'passed,' 'completed,' or score-based; a 'launched' trigger marks completion the moment the module opens.
