Ideas for using Quiz

(with acknowledgement to Michelle Moore)

Quizzes may be used:

  1. as unit or course exams
  2. as mini-tests for reading assignments or at the end of a topic
  3. as exam practice using questions from previous years' exams
  4. to deliver immediate feedback for printed workbook activities
  5. to provide feedback about performance
  6. for self assessment
  7. (with the use of the Quiz creator role) to allow students to generate their own quiz questions for a practice question bank.
