If you are a Section Designer, you use the Assessments tool to create the following types of assessments:

• Quizzes: A quiz is an online test that Students complete and submit for marks. The marks are recorded in Grade Book. You can use quizzes to assess Students performance in the course.
• Surveys: A survey is an online questionnaire that Students complete and submit anonymously. A survey is not worth marks but will be recorded as Complete in Grade Book after it is submitted. You can use surveys to allow Students to give feedback or opinions.
• Self tests: A self test is an online test that Students complete and submit for marks so they can assess their understanding of course material. The marks are not recorded in Grade Book.

If you are a Section Instructor or Teaching Assistant, you cannot create assessments but you can view them. You use the Assessment Manager tool to view and grade Student submissions, and run reports to compare the performance of Students.
