Profiling

What is the Profiling activity?

Thematic positioning quiz

Profiling aims to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the learner on the topic of the training. A personalized training path can be created based on the learner's responses to a series of weighted questions.

Each question offers up to three weighted responses, each associated with a defined profile. At the end of the activity, an algorithm defines a main profile for the learner and recommends a path for him to follow the training.

Note : Activities already done may be offered again. To do this, your learner's training path is reset locally, i.e. the learner can start the activities again in a new order without any data being deleted in the Mission Center.

Academic purpose

Profiling is part of the Engage phase of the ELPA learning cycle. It finds its place at the beginning of the course and aims to personalize the training of the learner according to his initial knowledge.
