Know It? mode is the assessment mode for the playback. If you intend to make this mode available to your users, you can select the defaults for the mode in the Know It? Options section on the Topic page, under Content Defaults, in the Options dialog box. 


Know It? defaults affect new content in a different way than other content defaults. Content defaults, as found on the Bubble, Introduction/End Frame and String Input pages, only affect a topic at the time of recording. You can create your entire outline and set those content defaults just before you start the recording process. The recorded topics reflect the new content selections. Know It? defaults, however, affect a new topic when you create/link it to the outline. Newly created topics, even those without content, inherit the defaults in the Know It? Options section. Therefore, it is best to set your Know It? defaults BEFORE you add topics to your outline.


Note: You can change the Know It? defaults for existing topics by selecting the desired topics and opening the Properties toolpane. To open the Properties toolpane from the Library or Outline Editor, select the View menu, point to Panes, and select the Properties command, or click the Properties icon on the toolbar. You can also right-click your selection and select the Properties command from the shortcut menu. To disable Know It? mode entirely for the selected topics, deselect the Know It? option in the Play Modes property list.


Set the Default Passing Score

After users complete the task in Know It? mode, they are presented with their score, the passing score for the topic, and an indication of whether they passed or failed the topic. A separate passing score for an individual topic can be set in the Properties toolpane.


Set the Remediation Levels

When a user fails to complete a step in Know It? mode, they are marked incorrect for that particular step and presented with up to four levels of remediation. The first three levels of remediation prompt the user to complete the step with increased support at each level. You can reduce the default number of remedial steps by eliminating levels. You can eliminate any of the first three levels; the fourth level completes the action for the user and cannot be removed. You can apply separate remediation settings for individual topics in the Properties toolpane.
