The General section of the iCMA form looks as follows:
Name: Supply a short name for the assessment e.g. iCMA41; Block 2 Questions. It helps to make the name short as it is used in column headings in the Gradebook and the shorter the name the smaller the on-screen space that is occupied in these reports.
Introduction: Your introduction is shown to students before they start the iCMA. You may use it to set the scene, indicate the purpose of the iCMA within the module, say how long it should take, whether it can be repeated etc.
The introduction is available to students before the iCMA is open.
It is possible to revisit this iCMA definition form any number of times and consequently it is not necessary to write the final version of your introduction at your first visit, but knowing the reasons for creating the assessment and its role in the module will help you to come to a view on the number of questions that the assessment should contain and hence the student and author time involved.
