Exam Module Overview

Feature Summary

The "Exam Module" of the LOL Online Learning Platform provides educators with a digital tool for evaluating learning outcomes. It allows for flexible configuration of conditions, question types, and answer rules to suit various teaching needs. Educators can design customized exams and integrate them with the platform’s video progress tracking and course structure to implement a seamless workflow from exam creation to grading.

The system supports three methods of question creation: batch import via XLS/CSV, manual entry, and selection from a question bank. Teachers can set time limits, number of attempts, passing criteria, and publishing schedules, enabling precise control over student learning progress.
