1. New, optimized user portal

assessmentQ 2.13 marks the introduction of a brand-new user portal. This portal is the “dashboard” that shows all available assignments for a particular candidate.

In assessment 2.13, the portal gets a brand-new design, while at the same time introducing some smart new functionalities:

• Every schedule now features a handy thumbnail image.
• You can now search and filter schedules, based on name, availability, or tag.
• You can now configure the portal to show more or less details based on your preference.
• You can now see the results of you past assignments as a candidate.

What’s more, the new portal raises the bar in terms of accessibility:

• It has both a dark and high contrast mode.
• It is accessible for screen readers.
• It supports keyboard navigation.

2. New: item type ‘fill gaps on background’

 

In this new item type, the candidate can fill in text to a gap that is placed over a background image. This question type comes in handy to efficiently test specific knowledge, for example:

• names of countries, rivers, etc. in geography
• medical terminology in anatomy
• Etc.

3. New: item type ‘drag and drop text on background’

As the name already suggests, this item type lets candidates drag and drop elements on a background image. As such, it is similar to ‘fill gaps on background’, the only difference being that candidates can pick their answers from a predefined set of options.
