[ARCHIVED] Quizzes.Next: It ain't just for Quizzing!

[bogardde]

Quizzes.Next shows great potential for creative uses in the classroom. I'd like to hear how teachers are using the Quizzes.Next tool in innovative ways (beyond the standard quiz/assessment) to enhance lessons and elevate student learning and engagement. What have you figured out that you can do with Quizzes.Next that takes it beyond a standard testing tool?

I'll start! One of the teachers in our district has been making video lessons with colorful, engaging and interactive worksheets using hot spot, categorization and ordering questions.

I would love to be more positive about this, I really would but the lack of a rich content editor in so many of the quiz options eg matching, fill the gap, categorisation, ordering really limits any creativity and opportunity to go beyond text. I could be more creative with Hot Spot if it allowed me to have more than one option!

The best I can do is make use of Quizzes to transfer many certification class worksheet questions that would otherwise be printed out eg

and reinforcement/recall/repetition:

Time saving but hardly innovative. Sadly I cannot (yet) share these in Item Banks with my staff for them to contribute to so we build up a bank of questions...

 @bsnelearning  I asked our CSM about the RCE/HTML editor back in the fall and was told it was on the roadmap for quizzes.next with expected availability by the end of the year. Obviously the end of the year has come and gone, so hopefully we'll see that functionality soon.

Sharing item banks is vital at the high school level and am hopeful the feature is being developed and will be available soon.

PS  @GideonWilliams ‌ — I love the images you’ve provided. Good job!
