In Zoho Learn, an assessment is a structured evaluation designed to measure how well a learner has understood course content. Assessments differ from casual knowledge checks in that they are typically graded, have a passing score requirement, and often gate course completion or certification.
Assessments in Zoho Learn take the form of quizzes (auto-graded) or assignments (file submissions reviewed by an instructor). Final assessments are usually placed at the end of a course, while formative assessments appear between modules to check understanding along the way.
The Zoho Learn reports section shows assessment scores for every learner, average scores by assessment, and question-level analytics showing which questions were most commonly answered incorrectly. This data helps authors improve both the assessment and the preceding instructional content.
Yes. When you mark an assessment as required for completion and set a passing score, learners who do not meet the threshold cannot receive the completion certificate or have the course marked done in their record.
A quiz is one type of assessment. Assignments (file uploads reviewed manually) are another. The term assessment broadly covers any graded evaluation, while quiz specifically refers to auto-graded question sets.
