Understanding Edify's Unit Structure

Before getting started, it is helpful to understand how Edify is structured. A unit consists of two distinct environments:

1. Sections Tab (Primary Workspace):
   • This is your main workspace where you build and store all your assessment tools and supporting content.
2. Online Variant (Learner View):
   • This controls the learner's experience within the Learning Management System (LMS).
   • Allows you to arrange and lay out sections exactly as students will see them.

Building & Editing Sections

Editing Existing Questions

1. Navigate to the Sections tab.
2. Click on an assessment section (e.g., Knowledge questions).
3. Click a Topic to expand it, then click on the specific question you wish to modify.
4. Click the Edit (pencil) icon.
5. Update the question or answer text in the corresponding text boxes.
6. Click Save.

To create a new custom section, click the + button at the end of the Assessment workspace. You can select from three main assessment types:

• Quiz – answer selection:

  • Useful for non-gradable self-checks or auto-marked assessments.
