For example, it can be at the top, in between two resources or right below the last item, a +Add link gives you the flexibility to add an offline test at the corresponding location.
Enter the name of the offline test and click Create Offline Test. By default, an offline test is created with a Score of '1' (this default score is configurable at the site level and can vary from site to site). You can change it from the Grading settings block as shown in 'step 10' of this article.
7. Once the offline test is created, you will be redirected to the classroom's materials listing page and you will see that offline test in expanded view.
8. Add instructions to the offline test. These instructions will be shown to the learners on the offline test landing page before the learners start working on the offline test and submit their work report to the instructor offline. If required, you can also format the instruction's text using the available rich text options by selecting the text.
We also have the site-level option to set default text values for offline test instructions. This can be used to provide the creator some guideline on what should be added in an offline test or to add some default text that is used frequently throughout the offline test instructions at the site level. Kindly contact your site administrator or write to us in order to set a default text value for your Teamie site.
You can also upload documents in offline test's instructions from you system or from a file-sharing service, such as Google Drive / OneDrive, if integrated.

10. Click Grading to expand the grading settings block. By default, an offline test is created with a Score of '1' (this default score is configurable at the site level and can vary from site to site).
The following three types of grading settings are available for an offline test out of which at least one setting needs to be enabled:
- Score
- Rubric
- Grade Scheme
- Enabled Certificate
As an instructor, you can select one, two or all the four aforementioned settings as per your requirement to make it a scoring or a non-scoring assessment.
In case your Teamie site has 'Grading Component' enabled, the Grading Component setting will also be shown under the Grading setting. Take note that the Grading Component setting along with the Summative/Formative settings are independent of the above settings.
11. You can change the maximum marks for the offline test from the Grading block's Score section.
12. In case you wish to attach rubric to the offline test, click the Rubric setting to open the Assign rubric/objective page.

The selected rubric will be mapped instantly.
17. Click the Grade Scheme setting to open the Grade schemes page in order to set a grade scheme for the offline test. A grade scheme is a set of criteria that measures varying levels of achievement in a classroom. Grade schemes are based on percentage ranges, and each percentage range is given a name (name value could be alphanumeric). A grade scheme can include any number of achievement levels.
18. The Grade scheme listing page opens. Search for the grade scheme you wish to map to this offline test.

If 'Grading Component' is enabled on your Teamie site, then the Grading Component setting will also be available. Click Select Grading component and select the required grading component from the drop down (this option will only appear if this feature (Grading Component) is enabled on your site.
If enabled at site level, the grading components will remain same for all the classrooms. On the other hand, if it is enabled at classroom level, then instructors can create grading component based on their requirement, group assessments by grading components and grade all types of assessments (Assignment, Online Quiz and Offline Test). Click here to learn more about creating and managing grading components.
21. By default an offline test is set as Formative. Click the Summative radio button to make the offline test summative. Then, enter the weightage if you want the scores obtained in this offline test to be considered for evaluation. Take note that the Weightage can be '0%' as well, if required.
Summative assessments are used in order to evaluate learning at the culmination of a unit by comparing it against some predefined standards. An example being a final project or end-term examination evaluation.
Formative assessments on the other hand are used to monitor learning and provide ongoing feedback. This helps an instructor to develop a better learning plan for helping their learners. An example being a mid research proposal for early feedback.
If the 'Certificate' feature is enabled on your site and it is configured to allow certificates to be attached to materials, then you will be able to enable/attach a certificate template to the offline test which will allow learners to receive certificate for the completion of the assessment.
