How does it work?
To earn a partial completion badge for this course, you must successfully complete a consolidated formative assessment online. This assessment covers selected concepts in this course. Learners who have worked through the course materials, learning challenges and quizzes on the course site will have all the learning materials they need to be able to pass the test.

The online assessment is administered through the Moodle website associated with this course. The OER Foundation has donated use of the OERu's Moodle site for this purpose.

Can I prepare for the test?
Yes! At the end of the learning challenges in Week One and Week Two, you will find an Activity Example quiz and a Summative or Formative quiz respectively, together with feedback on correct and incorrect answers. These are the same questions that are used in the Consolidated Formative Assessment to earn a partial completion badge. You can check the quizzes for each learning challenge by visiting the following links:


 * Activity example quiz
 * Summative or Formative quiz

Honour pledge for test takers
We expect learners taking the knowledge participation test to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity.

All questions are published on the course site, which you can review and practise before taking the test. If you are unsuccessful in the test attempt, you will be able to re-sit the test in accordance with the number of permissible attempts published on this page. However, while taking the test, you should not receive help. (This does not prohibit help required by learners with a disability, such as using a human or automated reader.)

All test takers will be required to affirm the following statement before attempting the test:


 * "I affirm that I have not given or received any unauthorised help while taking the test, and that this work is my own."

In the event that the OER Foundation identifies breaches of this honour code, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to withdraw any badges or certificates that have been issued to you and/or to ban your user account on all websites maintained by the OER Foundation.
