Quizzes

I think we’ve all used quizzes in one way or another. I much prefer to use the quizzes embedded in lessons in moodle to give better feedback. This makes it a learning tool instead of just a test. For summative assessment, however, care needs to be taken about when and where feedback is given to ensure that the students do actually have the understanding required, and enough, but not too much prompting is given along the way.

I have used them with great success in a non-academic course and would be happy to move them to academia, in both formative and summative assessment. Students also say they enjoy the lessons, and that they are better than quizzes.
