Adding primer questions to your campaign (optional)

Primer questions are optional questions which can be included in embed campaigns. Primer questions will be served at the start and end of embed campaigns to benchmark learner improvement during the campaign. Primer questions will feature no explanations and learners will not be told if they answer correctly or incorrectly.

To add primer questions, simply follow the same steps as for adding campaign questions in the Adding Questions step.

Adding a confidence survey to your campaign (optional)

Confidence survey questions are an additional way to measure the effectiveness of a campaign, and to judge the necessity of future learning on a campaign’s key topic areas. They ask learners to rate themselves on their confidence on key campaign learning objectives before and after the campaign.

For more information about confidence surveys, and how to write a good question, check out the support article here.
