Quiz StrategiesOf course, using the quiz engine effectively takes some work and practice. The first thing to do is use effective question-design strategies. If you ask good questions, you’ll get useful data about your students’ performance and understanding of the material.Of course, the converse is also true. There is a ton of literature about effective assessment design available. We’ll just highlight a few of the most important ideas:• Tie each question to a course goal. After all, you want to know whether your students are achieving the goals of the course, so why not ask them directly?• Try to ask multiple questions about each important idea in the class. This gives you more data points about a student’s understanding.• When writing a multiple-choice question, be sure each wrong answer represents a common misconception. This will help you diagnose student thinking and eliminate easy guessing.• Write questions requiring your students to think at different levels. Include recall questions, comprehension questions, and application and analysis questions. You can determine where students are having problems in their thinking. Can they recall the material but not apply it?• Test your questions. After you’ve established an initial question bank, use item analysis to determine which questions are useful and which aren’t. As you write new questions, give them a lower point value and throw in a few to establish their reliability.
