Deck Types

Deck Types

Decks are the container or repository for a specified number of Cards and typically address one topic or module of learning.

All decks can be created by either choosing your new deck's location in the Library Builder or by clicking Decks first and choosing your decks location later. Both the Library Builder and the Decks section can be found in the left navigation.


There are currently 3 different deck types that admins can create:

Standard Deck

Perfect for distributing all content without a pass or fail score.

Assessment Deck 

Create an assessment and provide certifications.

Point-Based Deck 

Test your audience across multiple topics and assign custom points to all possible answers enabling custom resources based on user results.
