OEC Learning Management Systems 5 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: 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:
- Set point value to zero and enable show correct answers after submission (Correct answer)
- Delete the grade column after the quiz closes
- Set the quiz as ungraded but hide results
- Use a survey tool instead of a quiz tool
Correct 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.
Question 2: A student with a documented disability requires 1.5x extended time on timed assessments. In most LMS platforms, the instructor handles this by:
- Creating a separate quiz version with a longer timer
- Using the accommodation/moderate students tool to set an individual time override (Correct answer)
- Asking the student to use a separate browser with a timer extension
- Removing the time limit for the entire class
Correct 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.
Question 3: Which LMS feature allows an instructor to see a visual snapshot of which learning outcomes most students have and have not yet mastered?
- Attendance tracker
- Learning mastery gradebook or outcomes report (Correct answer)
- Peer review dashboard
- Course analytics login heatmap
Correct 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.
Question 4: 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:
- Duplicate quiz tool
- Question bank or item pool (Correct answer)
- SCORM content library
- Shared outcome rubric
Correct 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.
Question 5: When an instructor 'mutes' an assignment in the LMS gradebook, what effect does it have?
- Deletes student submissions
- Hides posted grades from students until the instructor unmutes (Correct answer)
- Prevents late submissions from being accepted
- Sends a notification to students that grading is in progress
Correct 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.
Question 6: An LMS 'cohort' or 'section' feature is PRIMARILY used to:
- Group students by performance level for adaptive content
- Organize students into separate class groups within the same course for communication and pacing purposes (Correct answer)
- Create separate billing accounts per student group
- Link the LMS to an external SIS automatically
Correct 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.
Question 7: An educator notices that a SCORM module shows 'completed' for every student after only 10 seconds. The MOST likely cause is:
- The students are all advanced learners
- The SCORM package's completion trigger is set to 'launched' rather than a time or score threshold (Correct answer)
- The LMS gradebook has a rounding error
- The module is set to auto-pass all students
Correct 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.
