SOME FEATURES OF ONLINE QUIZZING:

• Faculty can program online quizzes to start and end at a certain time.
• Online quizzes can be taken once for a grade or programmed for students to retake multiple times without a grade. Some faculty place old exams online for students to practice test taking.
• Typical item types available for online quizzes include: multiple choice, multiple answer, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, matching, ordering, and short answer. All item types can be automatically scored except for short answer items. The auto-score is entered into an electronic gradebook or spreadsheet.
• Online quizzes can be built from large pools of items, thus different quizzes can be rapidly generated for students who miss a scheduled exam period, for different course sections, or for new sections during subsequent semesters.
• Online quizzes allow the instructor to construct questions where a web page or an image is referenced (click the sample below for an enlarged view).
