History: Quizzes

Quizzes can be used for fun, for trivia, for contests or for creating courses and e-learning sites. A quiz is made of a number of multiple-choice questions, each option in a question can be assigned positive or negative points. After the user takes a quiz Tiki computes the score and an answer can be displayed to the user depending on his or her score. You can control if quizzes can be repeated and you can indicate a time limit for quizzes. If you want, quiz results can be stored and you can review the results. Statistics are always stored for quizzes--keeping track of the results of each quiz.

• teacher control of quizzes and questions is not useful
• students demonstrate their knowledge by asking questions and posing answers

• reward students for asking questions
• reward students for practicing posing and answering questions
• encourage peer review of materials
• encourage creation of materials

Finding misspelled or poorly structured sentences are easy... I'd like to be able to submit a list of sentences. Each sentence would then be numbered and then loaded into a form. The form would would then have option fields:

• rewrite this sentence correctly
  • text field
• identify and correct the misspelled word
• text field with the correct answer(s) stored in the db

  
  

Imagine if at your job all you did all day long was repeat exactly what your boss told you, copied things out a book, like a photocopier, and worked for little or no recompensation?

If you had a job as boring and as hectic as the one described above you'd be angry, depressed and bored all at the same time. What's worse you wouldn't be able to escape...that's what school is like for most students because they are so removed from the learning process.

Let the students create the materials, the quizzes and you'll be surprised at how quickly the students will rise to the challenge. The challenge is between each other not the the ALL mighty sage on the stage.

The test taker should be prompted immediately, while in practice mode, to see the rationale for their answer as well as the number of other students who answered similarly.
