EchoExam courses allow you to share your Exams with a roster of learners. This allows you to easily limit who has access to each Exam and makes it easy for learners to find related Exams in one place. With EchoExam you can create courses manually or link them to courses you have set up in your learning management system (LMS).

Create a Manual Course

If you are also using EchoPoll, courses that you create in EchoExam will automatically be added to EchoPoll (and vice versa) to save you time.

If you are not using an LMS, you can create courses manually in EchoExam. You can also use manual courses to supplement courses you have brought in from your LMS.
