How do questions get scored in my course?
By the end of January, 2024 Learners will be provided an overall course score based on three metrics:
- Quiz Score
- Open Response Score (NEW)
- Overall Time spent
Learners will receive a passing overall score when they meet minimum score requirements for each metric relevant to the course. Passing scores for each metric are:
- 70% or above quiz score (or the minimum quiz score value set by the facility)
- 80% or above open response score
- Sufficient time spent in each lesson

The Open Response Score is a new measure of answer relevance and Learner effort in Essay and Short Answer questions. Answers for each required question are automatically evaluated using machine learning to produce a score for that question. Individual question scores are averaged to produce a lesson-level Open Response Score. Lesson scores are averaged to produce the overall course Open Response Score.
Open Response Scores allow Learners to prove they're meaningfully engaged in content, particularly with respect to self-reflection and the application of critical thinking skills to course topics. Open Response Scores are currently available at facilities that have joined our beta testing program.
