My Library
The library is organized into sections to make it easy to find exactly what you need when you need it. See a specific type of content by clicking the option on the left side of the page. Your Library contains five types of content:
- Tests: Tests are central to everything you do in EchoExam and can be used and re-used as often as needed, with as many groups of learners as needed. Creating a test in EchoExam allows you the freedom to create a set of questions that matches your needs and the flexibility to configure the settings to accommodate your learners.
- Publisher Titles: Publisher Titles include all textbook content you redeemed from a publisher.
- Questions: Questions are used to build your tests. These can be created directly from EchoExam or imported from your existing content. Every question, whether it was created in EchoExam or imported as part of a question bank, is included in this section.
- Question Banks: Question Banks are pools of questions with related content and topics. Any time you import content into EchoExam, it will be added as a Question Bank. You can also use Question Banks to automatically create tests on a topic based on specific criteria that you select.
- Resources: Resources are used to enhance your questions and make them more engaging and clear for your learners. You can also use resources to reference specific items in a question without needing to describe an image or audio item. There is no limit to the number of resources you can have or the number of questions or tests they can be used in. EchoExam also offers an extensive library of over one million royalty-free stock images you can use with your questions.
- Narrative: A narrative is a descriptive passage, special instruction, table, image, or other information that you can link to one or more questions. When taking an online exam or printed test, narratives are presented to the learner along with the questions they are linked to.
- Case Study: A case study is a set of one or more tabs with descriptive passages, special instructions, tables, images, or other information that you can link to one or more questions. Case Studies are typically used to mimic information as it would be displayed in a patient’s medical chart. When taking an online exam or printed test, case studies are presented to the learner, along with the questions they are linked to.
- Metadata: Metadata allows you to tag your questions back to specific difficulty levels, topics, standards, learning objectives, and more. Use metadata categories to ensure your tests include the appropriate types of content or to automatically create tests with specific difficulty levels or learning objectives.
My Courses
Each Exam that you assign will be part of a course that you are an instructor in. With EchoExam you can create courses manually or link them to courses you have set up in your learning management system (LMS). If you aren’t seeing a course that you expect, reach out to your admin to ensure you are an instructor on the Course.
You can view the details and exams for any course by moving your cursor or using your keyboard to tab to the course you want to open and click Open Course. This will take you to the Course Exams.
The Exams section of the course includes the full list of Exams for the course that have been completed, are in progress, are upcoming, or are in draft.
My Reports
Whenever you assign an exam, it is added to the My Reports section. You can use this tab to review in progress and completed exams across all the courses you are an instructor in.
You can ensure that your learners are completing assigned exams and check scores for exams that learners have submitted.
After learners complete an exam in EchoExam, you can access detailed reports showing their participation and performance.
Instructor Reports are broken into four sections:
