This document provides tips for making assessments mobile-friendly when using test generator software. It recommends avoiding large matrix questions and limiting text entry questions, as these can be difficult on small screens. Short multiple choice questions in a single column are optimal. When adding multimedia, be aware of longer loading times on mobile and limit use. When creating mobile tests, keep them short and simple by splitting into separate pages to avoid scrolling.

Ø Large
matrix
ques2ons
-­‐
mul2ple
ques2ons
presented
on
a
single
grid
-­‐
can
be
difficult
to
view
on
a
small
screen,
and
should
be
avoided
if
possible.
Ø Administrators
should
also
limit
the
number
of
ques2ons
that
involve
entering
text,
as
small
mobile
keyboards
can
be
difficult
to
type
on,
which
can
result
in
mistakes.
Ø Mul2ple-­‐choice
ques2ons
with
the
answers
presented
in
one
ver2cal
column
are
probably
the
op2mal
way
of
presen2ng
mobile-­‐based
assessments.

Ø Using
the
ques2on
bank
feature
on
the
TG
Web’s
test
generator
program,
you
can
easily
organize
ques2ons
in
this
format
in
mul2ple
banks
to
generate
mobile-­‐friendly
tests
in
minutes.
Ø However,
these
tests
are
not
ideal
for
every
kind
of
assessment,
and
it
is
important
to
consider
which
competencies
you’re
trying
to
measure,
and
not
compromise
on
tes2ng
quality
for
the
sake
of
convenience.

2. Considerations for Adding Multimedia
Using a Test Generator Program
Ø The
media
banks
provided
by
test
generator
so.ware
allow
you
to
create
a
wide
range
of
various
ques2ons
using
images,
audio
and
video
content,
which
can
be
incredibly
useful
in
crea2ng
varied,
interes2ng
assessments.
Ø However,
it
is
worth
bearing
in
mind
that
content
like
this
can
be
harder
to
load
when
viewed
on
a
mobile
device,
so
it
may
be
wise
to
limit
the
use
of
mul2media
in
your
assessments.
Ø If
you
do
need
to
add
media,
be
sure
to
follow
the
best
prac2ces
as
advised
in
TG’s
media
bank
tutorial,
and
test
your
assessments
to
ensure
everything
is
working
properly
before
allowing
users
to
access
them.

Ø It’s
usually
beTer
to
split
ques2ons
on
mobile-­‐based
assessments
into
separate
pages,
so
users
don’t
have
to
scroll
down
the
page
too
much,
which
can
lead
to
missed
answers.
Ø A
test
with
too
many
pages
can
take
longer
to
load,
so
it’s
important
to
strike
the
right
balance.
Ø Mobile-­‐based
tests
are
beTer
if
they
are
short
and
simple,
and
may
not
be
the
ideal
op2on
if
you
require
a
more
detailed,
complex
assessment.
Ø Online
tes2ng
tools,
like
TG
web,
offer
a
diverse
range
of
op2ons,
so
administrators
can
experiment
to
create
assessments
that
suit
their
requirements.
