Optional extension work beyond the extension ideas above:
ProProfsis a very versatile quiz creation tool and one of the first eteachers loves it- I was a bit put off by the amount of advertising though this is minimised
if you embed quizzes into your blog- one of her examples: http://miffbiz12.posterous.com/online-quiz-msother examples: http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-
school/examples.php and don’t forget the quiz making tools (and games) at classtools.net
Surveymonkey.com allows you to create nice looking feedback questionnaires or assessments (up to 10 questions free each time) and collate the
information quite easily. You create the survey, send the link and then review the responses within surveymonkey itself- it doesn’t provide immediate
feedback though. In fact it is very much like Google forms.
As I say above, Quia.com is a very versatile tool that allows you to make ‘millionaire’ type games, hangman, gap fills, multi choices etc. and is pretty easy to
use. The downside is that the free trial is only 30 days so if you do create an account and like it, make sure you make all your resources within 30 days then
save the links to the quizzes carefully!
You may have heard of Hot Potatoes quiz makers (makes a lovely crossword!) but this is something you have to download so you’d have to do it at home
and it’s not online as such so this is why we’re not looking at it on this course (it is quite complicated at first but if you’re very comfortable with your IT skills
you’ll be OK and will be able to appreciate its versatility) Available: http://hotpot.uvic.ca/
