Introduction to A&E

The Assessment & Evaluation Module in Elentra is used to assess learner performance in a clinical environment, and provide multiple user groups with the ability to evaluate faculty, courses/programs, and other activities within the context of your organization. Features of the module include:

• Create & manage scales and assessment response categories for use across your organization
• Create form items, forms, & configure form distribution methods
• Manage assigned forms from the administrator, faculty, and learner view
• Report on the results & completion rate of forms
• Connect forms to gradebook assessments

Assessment vs. Evaluation: In Elentra, if a distribution is to assess learners, it's an assessment. If it is to evaluate courses, faculty, learning events, etc. it is an evaluation.
