Module content and assessments
A module is one lesson: some material, and optionally a test. The assessment settings are where most of the thinking goes, because they decide whether completing a module means anything.

The four content types
| Type | Use for |
|---|---|
| Paragraph | Written material, authored in KAMI |
| Document | An uploaded file |
| Video | Video material |
| External link | Material hosted elsewhere |
⚠️ External links are the fragile option. They break, get moved, or end up behind a login the learner does not have — and nothing in KAMI tells you when that happens. Someone simply cannot complete their training. Use links for supplementary reading, and keep anything mandatory as a paragraph or an uploaded document.
Assessment settings
An assessment belongs to a module and has four settings that together decide how rigorous it is:
| Setting | If not set |
|---|---|
| Passing score (0–100) | Any score passes |
| Max attempts | Unlimited attempts |
| Time limit (minutes) | No time limit |
| Guidelines | No rules shown before starting |
⚠️ Leaving the passing score empty means any score passes. A learner who answers everything wrongly still passes the module and progresses. If the assessment is there to verify understanding — and especially if a certificate depends on it — set a passing score explicitly. This is the single most important field on the page and the easiest to leave blank.
Similarly, unlimited attempts with no passing score makes an assessment a formality. That is fine for a self-check; it is not fine for compliance training you may need to evidence.
Question types
| Type | Marked |
|---|---|
| MCQ | Automatically, against the correct option |
| Subjective | Free text — requires a human to read it |
Mixing them is fine, but be aware that a subjective question cannot be auto-marked. If your assessment is meant to gate progress automatically, MCQ is what does that work.
Guidelines
The guidelines field is rich text shown to the learner before they start. Use it for the things people ask afterwards: how many attempts they get, whether there is a time limit, what the pass mark is, and whether they can pause.
An assessment with a time limit and no guidelines is a poor experience — the learner discovers the constraint by running out of time.
How to build a module
- Open LMS › Team learning › Modules and create the module.
- Add its content — paragraph, document, video or link.
- Add an assessment if the module should be tested.
- Set the passing score, max attempts and time limit deliberately.
- Write the guidelines.
- Add the questions, marking the correct options for MCQs.
- Take the assessment yourself before releasing it.
What Happens Next
- Learners work through modules in the course's order.
- An attempt is recorded as passed or failed against the passing score.
- Module status moves from not started, to in progress, to completed.
- Completing all modules completes the course, and completing the path can issue a certificate.
Tips
- Always set a passing score on anything that matters. The default of "any score passes" is almost never what you intend.
- Take your own assessment before release. Timing, wording and the marking of MCQ options all show up immediately, and only there.
- Set max attempts for compliance training and leave it unlimited for self-development. The two have different purposes.
- Prefer uploaded documents over external links for anything mandatory.
- Keep modules to one idea. Progress is tracked per module, so smaller modules give both you and the learner a truer picture.
Troubleshooting / FAQ
Q: A learner passed with a very low score. No passing score is set, so any score passes.
Q: A learner is stuck and cannot retry. They have used the maximum attempts. Check whether that limit is what you intended.
Q: The assessment cannot be auto-marked. Subjective questions need a person to read them. Use MCQ for anything that should gate progress automatically.
Q: A learner says the content will not open. If it is an external link, check the link still works and is publicly reachable.
Q: Can I change an assessment after people have taken it? You can, but attempts already recorded were against the previous version. Avoid it mid-programme.
