System Requirements

Browser Specific Features Supported

Network Ports

Connections made to BrainCert WebRTC cloud across all global regions use the following TCP and UDP ports. If the UDP port is blocked then calls will connect over TLS instead of the more efficient UDP protocol. It can lead to quality issues with video, audio, and content sharing. It is important that firewall ports are opened to BrainCert servers. We have implemented technology to work if you are behind strict corporate firewalls and NAT environments. If you can't get the audio/video working inside virtual classroom, then most likely our IP is blocked by your firewall. For specific IP ranges of BrainCert's global Virtual Classroom servers, contact support.

Question 4

Scoring open-ended questions manually

Accepted Answer

Open-ended questions are questions that allow someone to give a free-form answer in an essay type question. Closed-ended questions can be answered with “Yes” or “No,” or they have a limited set of possible answers (such as A, B, C, D, or multiple answer choices).

An open-ended question is designed to encourage a full, meaningful answer using the subject's own knowledge to the question. It is the opposite of a closed-ended question, which encourages a short or single-word answer. Open-ended questions also tend to be more objective and less leading than closed-ended questions.

Step 1:

BrainCert supports "Free text" and "Essay type" open-ended question types

Step 2:

Essay question types are not graded automatically. The final test score will be adjusted after the instructor finishes grading essay questions manually.

To grade a essay question type test, go to the test report. Use the "Grade" option to review questions and score open-ended questions.

Step 3:

You can easily navigate to the questions with the "Not graded" status, and set question points and save the score. The question points are shown based on the weightage set while creating the questions. For example, in adaptive tests, if you set a question difficulty level as "3", then there will be a maximum 0-3 shown

Question 6

How to setup custom hostname and SSL certificate for your LMS domain in 5 minutes

Accepted Answer

You can easily map your external domain to BrainCert sub-domain using a CNAME entry in your DNS server in order to receive the performance and security benefits of BrainCert. CNAME stands for 'canonical name' and is a redirection to the zone file of the entered target domain. After you have added the CNAME entry in your DNS server, click the 'Request SSL Certificate' button in "Account & Settings" --> "Domain" area and BrainCert will attempt to issue an SSL certificate for the custom hostname without any other validation or private key requirements. It's that simple!

HTML5 Virtual Classroom relies on SSL (HTTPS) to function and it will not work with external domains. BrainCert recommends using our native enterprise SSL feature for this service.

Follow the instructions below

Step 1 - Create CNAME record in your DNS server
Step 2 - Map your custom hostname
Step 3 - Generate SSL Certificate
Step 4 - Turn off CloudFlare orange cloud
Step 5 - Testing your SSL hostname
- Check CNAME mapping
- Check SSL Certificate

Step 1 : Create CNAME record in your DNS server

Alias - For example, www or live (indicating that the www.yourdomain.com or lms.yourdomain.com record should point to your LMS sub-domain mylms.braincert.com)

Record Type - Should be CNAME (indicating that you would like to point to BrainCert by using its name)

Points To - Should
