What are primer questions?

Primers are a set of benchmark questions that are used to measure learner performance before and after a campaign.

They are designed to provide useful data that gives a clear picture of how a campaign has helped Learners improve their knowledge, skills and understanding.

When do primer questions appear?

Primers are used for most embed campaigns, and get delivered to the Learner on Yarno, just like regular campaign questions.

As a Learner, you'll receive primers before the campaign kicks off, and for a second time once the campaign has ended.

What makes primer questions unique?

Unlike regular campaign questions, primers are designed as a temperature check rather than a training tool. For this reason, primers don't display the correct answer or any explanation — but the knowledge quizzed in the primers will relate to topics covered within the campaign. 

Instead, the result goes into Yarno and contributes to a primer question performance score that admins can access in order to see how learner performance has improved as a result of the campaign.
