As part of the QMplus upgrade to 4.1, the Assessment Information Block will be replaced by a new Assessment Panel, which is much simpler to use. If you used the old block, then all of your content will be automatically transferred to the new panel.

If you never used the old block, you may wish to consider using the new Assessment Panel.

Here is a short 1 minute video explaining how the new Assessment Panel works.

Why use the QMplus Assessment Panel?

The Assessment Panel makes it easier for students to see, at a glance, all the coursework that they will need to complete for a particular module. It is possible to add additional content to the panel, such as coversheets, or special instructions so that students can easily access all the resources related to their assessments.

The assessments will also be available within the topic structure on the main page (for example, in a specific topic, section or week) but the assessment panel pulls items that you have selected to be assessment activity and resources into one central place, making it easier for the students to find, rather than having to search through all the topics.

You choose which activities and resources to display in the assessment panel.
