A Personal Course contains personalized content, which is a customized version of the full content based on a user's pre- and/or post-assessment results. The purpose of the personalized content is to allow a user to complete an objective assessment of his/her skills in the subject matter and then take a subject that contains only the content upon which the user needs to focus. A Personal Course does not create a new subject, but rather filters the full content to show only the content that is necessary for the user to learn.
When you create an assessment, you should include questions based on, and associated with, the subject content. It is particularly important that these questions provide a representative sampling of the subject material if an organization uses the Personal Course feature. The questions MUST be associated with items in the outline structure if they are to be used to filter the contents for a Personal Course. When a user completes an assessment, the Assessment Summary page displays a list of sections upon which assessment questions were based and the user's score on the questions for each section.
