Manage evaluations

An evaluation is a collection of questions participants answer on their own. Evaluations are created by the content developer before an event using the Agenda Builder and imported into the Webinar or Classroom events by the session leader or co-presenter.

Evaluations can be recorded and graded, if required. They can also be configured to include scoring to evaluate participants based on their passing scores.

You can create evaluations using the Agenda Builder.
Note: You must have Content Developer privileges on the Cornerstone Classroom server to be able to launch the Agenda Builder.

Types of evaluations

When creating evaluations, you can select whether the evaluation is graded or non-graded with the results saved or not saved.
