With an examination you can test the learner’s knowledge about a certain topic. As for the learning bite you can add templates to the examination, the key difference being that the examination only contains validated questions (i.e. questions that can be answered correctly or wrong) and no informative templates like the text media. The smart examination is different than the Examination format because it has capabilities like a re-usable question database, random sampling of questions from various folders/categories, examination time limits, retry limits and various options for either hiding or showing examination feedback. The smart exam is the most flexible and smart format available in learning platform.
