Before starting
SMOWL is a monitoring tool that provides the collected evidence to the institution for evaluation. In no case will SMOWL decide whether a user passes or fails the activity.
SMOWL is fully integrated within the platform, so the results report will be available a maximum of 24 hours after the last student has finished his or her activity within the virtual campus.
You can customize our reports if you wish, you can use our API for communication with web services. You will find more information about this in the following article.
SMOWL will provide all the tests of a course or an activity by selecting the modality (course, quiz, test, scorm...) and the specific ID of the course or activity.
If only “Course” is selected, the system will show the results of all the activities included in this course in a grouped way.
We recommend that our clients review the results reports by selecting specific activities to access all the functionalities of our system.
