Checkpoint Widget

This article describes how to use the Checkpoint widget, its settings and purpose.

Updated over 6 months ago

The checkpoint is for your participants to check out...

  • whether they have learned or understood something,

  • what to do or

  • where to go next.

It could be used to help them check if they got the point of your content, where they should go for more information, etc.

In practice you simply write a question, answering options and feedback to every option. Options can be either neutral (marked grey) or right / wrong (marked green/red). You can include links to the feedback like:

  • watch this video

  • go to this page (inside your workspace)

  • read this article (inside or outside)

They can choose the different options as many times they like. So if you use it for checking knowledge, you can guide them to find the right answer. In other words, it cannot supply you with statistics on their choices.

Settings for Checkpoint:

Title and text content

In the edit mode, you can add a title and additional information, much like in the Textbox widget. Here, you can find more information about the text editor.

Options

You can choose whether answers are neutral (the default) or right and wrong (click the checkbox "Use right and wrong answers").

Answer options

Add as many answer options as you need and write an answer option for each. You can also write answer feedback, which can include links or general guidance. When using right and wrong answers, check the answers that are right!

You can reorder and delete options from the right side of each answer option.

Who can answer

You can choose who can answer to the Checkpoint. By default, every participant can answer.

Who can edit

You can allow participants to edit the widget by adding their email address in the "Who can edit" section.

Save your widget's settings by clicking Save.

Widget styles

You can edit the appearance of the widget with Widget styles! More information about Widget styles can be found in this article.
