As an alternative to traditional multiple-choice assessment, Certainty Based Marking (CBM) helps employees to learn in a more confident, considered and comprehensive way.

How should you award points for Certainty Based Marking?
We recently wrote an article for eLearning Industries that outlined three ways in which Certainty Based Marking (CBM) improves employee assessment.

We agree with Tony, so we thought we’d pen a piece explaining how Wranx awards points for CBM!
