A form is a collection of items used to assess or evaluate a learner, faculty member, course, service, event, or anything else in your organisation.
Some form templates are available in the CBME module but there is not a user interface to build additional form templates at this point. This section is about creating forms without templates.
If you are creating a form to be attached to a gradebook post for the purpose of online grading using a dropbox and Assessment and Evaluation form please note that not all item types are currently supported because there is no structure to weight them on the form posted to the gradebook. When creating a form to use with a gradebook dropbox it is recommended that you only use multiple choice, dropdown selector, rubric and scale items. If your form requires narrative comments do not use the free text comment item type as the grader will not be able to save their comments; instead, allow or require comments on your scale or rubric items and encourage graders to provide feedback within the rubric or scale item.

Adding a Curriculum Tag Set is a very specific tool that supports field notes for use in family medicine. Most users should ignore this option.
