Knowmia Quiz Report Details

A single piece of Knowmia content can report a quiz score in two different ways:

1. If the Knowmia media content contains a quiz with questions, the quiz results can be sent back to the Blackboard Grade Center. Points are awarded based on the percentage of correct answers.
2. If the Knowmia media content has no quiz questions, enable this option to have points assigned to it according to the percentage of the video watched.

Example: A student watches 80% of the Knowmia video. Knowmia reports a score of 8/10 to the Blackboard Grade Center.

Tips

• If an entire folder of media is selected, no quiz score is reported.
• Knowmia reported scores can be manually overwritten in the Blackboard Grade Center.
• Once a student completes a quiz, allow up to one hour for quiz scores to be synchronized between Knowmia and the Blackboard Grade Center.
