Examiners provide assistance in the management of a learners training progress. A course may assign work on documents or tasks that are completed outside the LMS. In some cases, the work needs to be uploaded by the learner for review. This will require someone to examine the assigned work and assess knowledge and comprehension of the task and materials. Examiners are assigned by the Admin to review and grade the work, typically in the exam phase.

The attached document will guide you through the steps of assigning and managing the examiner.

Checklists are a convenient way to manage and review a series of steps or content as part of a course. For example, a course on web design may have a checklist available for a student to ensure they have all the components required to successfully publish a website.

In both cases, a checklist provides assistance to the learner and examiner to ensure that all the elements have been addressed.

You can broaden the reach of your Instructor Led Training (ILT) through the use of online conferencing and meeting systems. One of NetExam’s most popular live training solutions utilizes Citrix's GoToMeeting (G2M) as the online location for the training site. NetExam has integrated G2M so that it’s easy to set up and add an available venue for your online live training classes. 

You first create a virtual classroom in NetExam by adding a Venue to a Classroom. Select Web Conference as your online venue category and GoToMeeting as your conference type. Once you have created a virtual venue, you can use this venue to schedule your virtual training sessions. A virtual training session works like a class in NetExam, except the meeting room is your G2M account. Students receive meeting details via email upon enrollment in the class. Once the class has been completed, the conference app will send meeting attendance data back to NetExam for inclusion in the student's transcript.

The steps to setting up a web conference as a classroom are clear and easy. Download the guide below for the instructions to walk you through the steps to create the meeting instance, where to add it as a location to a class and email communications. 

Thank you for using NetExam for your training and certification!

NetExam now allows Administrators to create class enrollment links for private classes and share them with potential learners.  The learners can click on these links and access the private class enrollment forms which are not accessible from the regular class catalog.  You can access the private class link from the Class configuration view of the Administration application.

To access:

-          Go to Class room schedule Add/Edit page

-          From the viability option select the visibility as Private.

-          Save your class schedule.

-          Now come back to your schedule from the course or calendar page.

-          You will see the following field is now enabled and a link to the private class.

-          Copy the URL and distribute among your intended recipients.

Note: Make sure this class is a part of an active course and the course is part of an active certification. Also the users who received this link should be part of one of the user groups in the certification.

NetExam allows users to purchase courses for other users in their primary user group. When purchasing a course they can click on the “Add Attendee” link and add other individuals to the purchase. Those additional attendees will get an email notification that they been enrolled in the course.

Netexam now supports an approval workflow for Purchase Orders.  For designated classes, when Learners purchase classes with a purchase order they can be configured to be added to approval queue with a pending status. Administrators can access this approval queue from Admin application and either approve or decline the enrollment request.  The learner will be notified of the Administrators decision via email.

NetExam includes a Registration End Time option in ILT Class room sessions. This allows administrators to prohibit users from enrolling into the classes a specified number of hours before the class start time.

This guide provides the basic steps of Salesforce to NetExam Data Integration.

NetExam has an integration with Salesforce.com that allows for NetExam training objects: Courses and Certifications to be transmitted to SFDC and stored in custom objects. This allows the flexibility of reporting on this data directly from within SFDC.

Also, please see the companion documents - Salesforce to NetExam Enhanced Course Data Integration and Salesforce to NetExam Setup and Integration Guide.

NetExam supports Salesforce.com Chatter Integration. NetExam can post new updates to Chatter when the following events occur:

• When a new Course is created, a message can be posted announcing its availability to the Chatter stream. 
• When a new Certification is created, a message can be posted announcing its availability to the Chatter stream.
• When a user completes a Certification, a message can be posted to the Chatter Stream announcing the completion.

This guide will provide you the information regarding the most recent enhancements to Salesforce to NetExam Course Data Integration.

The NetExam SCORM player can receive and store question ID and answer data from exams that are embedded in the SCORM course.

LMS admins can see the SCORM interaction data in Adhoc reports under UserResponsesToScormInteraction dataSource.

This enables an Administrator to specify a sequence number format, the number that the sequence should start from and the next number. When a user clicks on the certification icon from the transcript page, it will generate the certification number according to the format specified in the Certification Add/Edit page.

How to define

• From the NetExam Admin site go to Certification - Certification/Course Group - Add Edit an Existing Certification.
• From the course / Certification Add/Edit page you will see the following settings.

• By changing the format in the drop-down, it will update the number format in the text box.
• Admin can specify the next number according to the format.

This will allow admin to specify weights for the questions at the time of creating. Weights are ranging from 1 to 5 and weight 5 carriers the maximum weight. When the exam is graded the score will depend on the weight of questions.

Setup

• From the Admin site - Go to Curriculum – Course – Lesson – Objective
• When you create your question, you can select the weight for that question. Default value set to 1.

Logic

When the exam is graded the score will depend on the weight of questions

example Assume Q1 - weight = 2 Q2 - weight = 3 Q3 - weight = 4 Q4 - weight = 1 Q5 - weight = 5 Let's assume student got these 5 questions in a exams got Q1, Q2, Q3 correct and Q4 and Q5 wrong So the score should be (sum of weights of all question the student got right) * 100 / (sum of weights of all question the student got in exam)

Ex (2+3+4)X100/(2+3+4+1+5) = 9 X 100 / 15 = 60%

You can broaden the reach of your Instructor Led Training (ILT) through the use of online conferencing and meeting systems. One of NetExam’s most popular live training solutions utilizes Cisco WebEx as the online location for the training site. NetExam has integrated WebEx so that it’s easy to set up and add an available venue for your online live training classes. 

You first create a virtual classroom in NetExam by adding a Venue to a Classroom. Select Web Conference as your online venue category and WebEx as your conference type. Once you have created a virtual venue, you can use this venue to schedule your virtual training sessions. A virtual training session works like a class in NetExam, except the meeting room is your WebEx account. Students receive meeting details via email upon enrollment in the class. Once the class has been completed, the conference app will send meeting attendance data back to NetExam for inclusion in the student's transcript.

The steps to setting up a web conference as a classroom are clear and easy. Download the guide below for the instructions to walk you through the steps to create the meeting instance, where to add it as a location to a class and email communications. 

Thank you for using NetExam for your training and certification!
