Quiz UI redesign prototype questions

These have all been translated from Finnish. The original ones are available on request from Olli Savolainen.

Testing questions used in spring 2007

These questions were used to test the original prototype of 2007.

These do not comprehensively test all of the features of quiz, but sufficiently demonstrate the usability issues basic operations may cause. We do not mention the names of UI elements, such as "random question", since the point is to see whether the name of the element means to the user what it is intended.

Create questions for the exam of General science and publish the exam.

1. Add the questions of Aftonrenger to the exam so that for each student’s exam, one of the questions will be selected

2. Add the questions of Extrapend to the exam so that each of them will be used in any given exam

3. Change the exam so that all the questions show on the same page in a student’s exam

4. Make it so that one of Extrapend’s questions is alone on the first page.

5. On the first page of the exam, instruct the student taking the exam that they “must answer the questions with reckless abandon”.

6. In the first task, you added a random question to the exam. Make it so that there are two random questions in the exam from that set of questions.

7. There is a ready-made set of questions available in the Organize-section. Add those questions to the exam.

8. There is a question by Mr. Dell in the category Good questions. Add it to the exam.

9. Make sure the reservation information concerning the exam is correct, and publish the exam.

Testing questions used in spring/summer 2008

Card 1

You are teaching a course about the French revolution and you are making an electronic exam for that course. You will use an exam building tool, which you can see in front of you, to build the exam. (In case you have your own material with you, you may assume during the test that the exam is about your own subject).

First, one warm-up question. If you would normally use a keyboard, please instead speak out loud what you would do with the keyboard.

Add an essay question to the exam: "Describe Napoleon's stages on his way to autocracy."

With each task, you can give the the card back to the test manager any time you feel you have completed the task or if you wish to give up.

Card 2

Katso, miltä juuri tekemäsi kysymys näyttää opiskelijalle tentissä

Card 3

Toteat, että vasta tekemässäsi kysymyksessä tulisi olla koko nimi, Napoleon Parraton. Korjaa kysymystä.

Card 4

Lue tenttityökalun perusohjeet. Tutustu erityisesti käsitteeseen satunnaiskysymys. Mikäli jokin jää mielestäsi epäselväksi, kerro tästä tilaisuuden järjestäjälle.

Card 5

Jotta opiskelijat eivät voisi kopioida kysymyksiä toisilleen, haluat tenttiin valikoiman kysymyksiä, joista eri tenttikerroilla tenttiin arvotaan yksi tenttiin. Aihe kysymyksille on vallankumouksen jälkeiset vuodet.

Lisää ensimmäinen kysymys tällaiseen valikoimaan (kysymyksen nimeksi “Dickens”): “Millainen oli sodan jälkeinen aika?”

Card 6

Lisää vielä kaksi vaihtoehtoista kysymystä aiheesta Dickens.

- Miten kuvailisit Napoleonin strategisia vahvuuksia?
- Analysoi sodan aiheuttamia vahinkoja yhteiskunnassa.

Card 7

Lisää tenttiin ohje opiskelijalle, että erityisesti kysymykseen Vallankumouksen jälkeisistä vuosista on vastattava tieteellisen tekstin kirjoitusnormien mukaisesti.

Card 8

Muokkaa kategoriassa Vallankumouksen jälkeiset vuodet olevaa Dickensin kysymystä “Miten kuvailisit Napoleonin strategisia vahvuuksia?”. Kysymyksessä tulee olla Napoleon Parrattoman koko nimi.
