Assessment settings
In the Settings panel:
- Time limit — set a countdown timer (leave blank for untimed)
- Passing score — minimum percentage to pass (default 70%)
- Allowed attempts — how many times a learner can retry (0 = unlimited)
- Show solutions — when to reveal correct answers (never / after due date / immediately)
Publishing and sharing
Once your assessment is ready:
- Click Publish in the top bar
- Your assessment receives a share code (e.g.,
ABC123)
- Share the assessment link with learners:
https://your-org.edpire.com/take/ABC123
Learners do not need an Edpire account to take the assessment — just the link.
Sharing options
- Direct link — paste in email, LMS, or classroom chat
- Share code — learners enter it at
your-org.edpire.com
- Embed — if your LMS supports iframe embeds (contact your tech team)
Viewing results
After learners complete the assessment:
- Go to Assessments in the sidebar
- Click on the assessment name
- Click Results to see all submissions
For each submission you’ll see:
- Learner identifier
- Score and percentage
- Pass / Fail status
- Time taken
- Per-question breakdown (click to expand)
Exporting results
Click Export on the results page to download a CSV with all submissions. Useful for grade books and reports.
Managing collections
Collections are ordered groups of assessments — useful for organizing by course, level, or topic.
- Go to Collections in the sidebar
- Click New Collection
- Give it a name (e.g., “Grade 8 Math - Term 2”)
- Click Add Assessment to add assessments in order
- Drag to reorder
Collections are visible to API integrations and can be used to build course catalogs in external platforms.
Managing API Keys
If you’re working with a development team to connect Edpire to another platform:
- Go to Settings → API Keys
- Click Create API Key
- Give it a name (e.g., “LMS Integration”)
- Select the required scopes (your developer will tell you which ones)
- Copy the key — it is shown only once
- Share it with your developer via a secure channel (not email or chat)
API keys give access to your org’s assessment data. Never share them publicly or put them in code repositories.
