The Video Lessons Quiz Manager and Video Lessons Certificate add-ons, when combined, give you ability to test your video LMS students via quiz and reward them with certificates when they pass. 

Example

Use Case Assumptions

In this example use case guide, we'll cover how to create quizzes and grant certificates showing their score.

We consider that you have already installed and configured the base plugin.

We also consider you bought the add-ons, but did not installed them.

It follows:

• Installing the add-on
• Creating a quiz
  • Configuring quiz options
  • Showing content only if user passes or fails
• Checking the score report
• Creating a certificate
  • Sending certificate upon lesson/course completion
  • Sending certificate upon quiz completion
  • Adding quiz score to certificate
• Translating the interface
• Extra - Showing user the certificate list

Installing the Add-ons

The process is the same for all CM plugins and add-ons.

• Download the add-ons from your customer dashboard.
• Log in to WordPress and navigate to the WordPress Admin → Plugins settings.
• Click on Add New.
• Activate it and add the license for each.

Creating a Quiz

What is a Quiz?

Where Do I Create a Quiz?

You can create and manage quizzes on the same screen. To reach it, head to CM Video Lesson Manager Pro → Quizzes. 

1. Add new quiz dialog: Has a series of fields that will identify the quiz. After filling them, click the button Add New Quiz.
2. Quizzes List: To the right, you will find all the current quizzes. You can edit each one by clicking its name. 
3. "Questions" column - displays how many questions are there on the quiz. Click on the number to manage those questions.

Creating Question Inside a Quiz

Questions have to always be part of a quiz. So to add or manage them, click the value in the Question column of the respective quiz (Number 4 above). This will display the list of questions for that particular quiz. It's possible to edit, quick edit, and delete each item by hovering the mouse over it.

To add one, simply click the button Add Question.

TIP: The Question Editor

The interface used to add or edit a question is the same as the one used for posts. As such, you can enrich the body with HTML and elements such as images and video embeds.

It's worth noting:

• Answers: It's possible to create as many answers as needed. Also, more than one can be selected as correct.
• Manage Post Ratings: These fields manage the rating users can give to the question.
• Question order: Indicates the order in which this question will appear. For instance, a question with a value of 1 will appear before another that has a value of 4. If two questions have the same value, their placement will be random.
• Back to all Questions: Directs you to the question list of the quiz.
• Quiz: This box provides a quick shortcut to manage the quiz that contains this question.

Assigning Quiz to a Lesson

To do this, choose to edit the lesson and alter the "Quiz After Lesson" box, as shown.

Configuring Quiz Options

You can configure where they show up, the minimum score to pass, the maximum number of attempts and type of score to be shown in the Progress Report.

To change these settings, head to Admin Dashboard → Video Lessons Manager Pro → Settings → Quizzes tab.

• Correct answers percent to pass a quiz (0 - 100): It's a percentage value. So, for instance, 100 would mean all (100%) answers must be correct to pass the quizzes, while 50 would mean that at least half (50%) of the answers has to be right.
• Max number of attempts per quiz (0 - to set as infinite): Indicates the number of attempts the user has to pass the quiz.
• Score type to show in the Progress Report (max, min, average): The drop-down menu lets you choose between max (the maximum score between all tests will be shown), min (the minimum) and average.
• Show quiz on bottom (below videos): "Yes" shows on the bottom of the lesson page; "no" shows on top.
• Use priority autoincrement for new questions: If enabled, every time you create a new question it will be ordered after the previous one. This is done by granting every new question will a higher "Question order" value. This can help with ordering.
• Show quiz summary: Displays a summary of the questionnaire after completion
  • Show correct answers in quiz summary - Displays all the correct answers in the summary. Only works if the previous options is enabled

Showing Content Only If User Passes or Fails

It's possible to show different content after a user passed or failed a quiz.

Here, you are able to configure if users will receive certificates for completing lessons and/or courses. You can also configure the email template the users will receive.

Lesson Certificate Settings

• Send certificate to user - Enable or disable the certificates by default. You can change this setting fo each lesson or course, while editing them.
• Email Trigger - If the email should be sent only once to the user or every time the lesson/course is completed.
• Email Template:

  • In the title you can use the following placeholders:

    [lesson_name] [lesson_description] [lesson_url] [user_display_name] [user_first_name] [user_last_name] [user_email] [website_name] [website_url]

  • In the content you can use the following placeholders:

    [lesson_name] [lesson_description] [lesson_url] [user_display_name] [user_first_name] [user_last_name] [user_email] [website_name] [website_url] [certificate_url] [cpd_hours]

Course Certificate Settings 

The settings are the same as the ones for Lessons, but apply to courses.

Sending Certificate Upon Quiz Completion
