Question
Master
Redkite Question Master
Redkite Question Master allows you to assess staff knowledge using a multiple choice format in any subject matter quickly and easily no matter where they are located.
Turn PowerPoint presentations or pdf documents into dynamic learning resources in minutes! Quickly transform any PowerPoint presentation into an integrated e-learning package with built in self-assessment and dynamic links to staff records. Easy to set up - a single link on any screen in your presentation will fire up a predetermined on-line assessment and, on completion mark, score, grade and store the results, if required.
Questions are created and stored in topic specific question banks. Any number of topics banks can be created. Questions are in a multiple choice format and there is no limit to the number of questions you can enter. Questions can have as many optional answers as are needed and users can be asked to select more than one correct option. Questionnaires are created by selecting questions from one or more topics. Questionnaires are delivered to candidates who will answer questions whilst seated at a computer or via a web enabled smart phone. For many staff this will mean that they can be assessed
without the need for them to leave their workplace.
Each question is generated at random and the optional answers are also presented in a random order. Questions can be marked as they are answered showing both the correct and incorrect answers if required. At the end of the assessment the candidate can be
informed of the overall score and whether or not the
assessment has been completed successfully.
The outcome of the assessment can be automatically
passed to the candidate’s personal portfolio where the
results can be viewed in full detail providing
substantiating evidence of knowledge and
understanding in key competence areas.

uploaded to the server via a user friendly upload

assessment.
Users can be ‘enrolled’ onto CBT resources via
Tracker – this will ensure that required CB Training

that the resource has been used. If the resource is

portfolio.

only supply the mechanism for storing, selecting,
delivering, assessing, marking and recording the
outcomes of CBT learning experiences.
