Education / Pedagogy / Excel spread sheet for a multi-media course

French term or phrase: bilan

I have a feeling that the answer here is obvious, and that I know it somewhere in the back of my head, but I have gone through dictionaries and Proz term search. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The word "bilan" is used in column A which describes the text/dialogue/video transcripts that are in column B.

It is a course for health professionals about USA health privacy laws.

The following is the sequence in column A at the beginning of the excel spread sheet

Titre
Introduction
Bilan
Premier element
Introxxxx(media)
Introxxxx
Catégorie
[Sibject of the section](scene)
[Title of the scene]
Catégorie

xxxx's are mine for client confidentiality, as is also the text in brackets [ ].

Bilan is used for a second time, also in Column A after the concluding text (which is shown on screen) that introduces the final video conclusion which summarizes what has been covered in the whole course, with an animated figure speaking.

The sequence in Column A is of a similar type, with bilan being the last item in the column:

Titre conclusion (media)
Titre conclusion
Catégorie
Bilan

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks Annie. I've seen assessment in dictionaries and in Proz and it may be the correct translation but it doesn't make sense in the context unless it is a sort of technical term used for these types of multi media presentations.
