Online learning and assessments

Deliver online lessons and track progress. Show learners what they have completed and what they need to practice.

Course content and progress

A learner should be able to leave a course and return to the work they have already started. My learning shows a learner’s assigned courses. A course contains lessons and required work. DART saves progress so the learner can return later.

The package workflow supports single-page SCORM 1.2 lessons. SCORM is a format for sharing online course content and progress. A course ZIP can be imported as a draft before review and publication.

Tests, test-out opportunities, and assignments

Different kinds of learning need different ways to show understanding. A course can use quizzes and scored assignments. It can include a starting test and a final test. A test-out option can let a learner prove knowledge they already have.

A rubric explains how an assignment is scored. The gradebook brings the results together. Learners can see which parts they missed and receive extra practice.

Instructor review and controlled corrections

Student work needs a clear reviewer and a score that can be explained. Assigned instructors can read and grade student work. Course administrators have their own access. Someone who only approves funding cannot read student answers.

A grade correction needs a reason. It keeps the earlier score and comments. The correction uses the original scoring rules.

If the change removes the last passing result, the lesson can reopen. Related course credit can receive a rejected revision. The earlier credit record remains visible.

Completion and credit are connected

Finishing a lesson and earning credit for a course are related but separate steps. The course rules determine which work must be complete. Once those rules are met, the workflow can award course credit.

A corrected passing grade does not automatically restore rejected credit. An authorized administrator must review it. Withdrawn enrollments and cancelled classes also constrain later changes.

Feedback and learning outcomes

Test scores show part of a course’s effect. Feedback and later observations help explain the rest. Course evaluations keep learner feedback and learning results. Training reports help staff review outcomes and unmet needs.

A needed-training notice points people toward follow-up work. The notice does not change their qualification record.

Evaluation forms support all four Kirkpatrick levels. Each level asks a different question about the training. The form version stays with the response.

Evaluation levelWhat DART records
I — ReactionThe learner’s feedback. Assessment results are kept separate.
II — LearningThe learner’s response with assessment evidence from that enrollment.
III — BehaviorAn instructor’s work observation after completion. The learner cannot submit their own observation.
IV — ResultsAn administrator’s result measure for a past period. It is not attached to an individual learner.
