The new feature will let the system verify that a person has knowledge of the currently open nodes within an objective. This can be particularly useful if a student is repeating a course, and as a result they have most of the nodes complete. This process requires the student to verify their knowledge before they can gain credit for that work.
Verify knowledge can be an automatic assignment where the system recognizes prior knowledge or manual assignment where the instructor can assign Verify Knowledge for an objective if they feel it is an appropriate step.
In conjunction with this feature a new KC variable is available for the grading calculation. The new variable (KCA) will provide an adjusted KC value that only includes nodes that are completed and have an ability value of at least a new KCA threshold value. If a knowledge verification is required but is outstanding, then the KCA value will be 0.
The document provides steps to configure Verify Knowledge at a product level. Once the configuration has been complete on the base product any new versions created from the base will inherit the Verify Knowledge settings.
