The aXcelerate assessments feature allows you to create basic assessments in aXcelerate to log and record assessment data against your student's enrolments. These are basic, file upload, file download assessments. A student is able to view and respond to these assessments via their student portal (if specified), or a trainer is able to upload an assessment for the student.

The Assessment Mode names are able to be configured in your System Settings.
If you have training related resources created that apply to your selected units, you will be able to select this from the resources field. This will then be available to the student to download when viewing their assessment.
Note: If an assessor is specified at this level, this user will apply as the default assessor to all enrolments unless otherwise specified.
Warning: When selecting which units the assessment applies to, if you select multiple units here, this means that one assessment applies to all of those units. Thus, the student only has to submit this assessment once and it will apply to all units.
