Just like real-life classroom tests, ProProfs Quiz School quizzes can be configured to reveal scores, correct answers with explanations, or both to the student upon completion of the quiz. If you so choose, you can even require test-takers to provide their name at the beginning of the test to ensure you are able to tie students′ scores to those in Quiz School.
Encouragement:
You can enable certificates of achievement to be displayed upon the completion/passing of a quiz. Watch students take the quiz repeatedly in order to improve and earn the certificate and a feeling of accomplishment!
Practice Quizzes:
If you would rather create a low-stress testing environment for your students, especially if you would like to use Quiz School for learning and not assessment, create practice quizzes that display answers right beside the questions. Further reduce stress by disabling scoring altogether on the quiz so that students can focus on knowledge instead of results.
Feedback:
Receive feedback and commentary from students on your quizzes to make sure that your ProProfs Quiz School quizzes remain accurate and high in quality. It also helps you to ensure your students are happy!
Prevent Cheating:
ProProfs is happy to announce that Quiz School has new features that prevent cheating and ensure that your classroom maintains integrity and honesty. Password protect your quizzes, set a time limit, or view the amount of time taken by a student to make sure that the student did not seek outside help to complete the quiz. Better yet, sort test takers by IP address to check if any student took a quiz for another student. While no single one of these features is foolproof, using them all in conjunction will make cheating difficult and unattractive for your students.
Engagement:
ProProfs Quiz School now makes it easy for educators to include pictures and images in their quizzes through either upload or Yahoo flickr. Engage your students and capture their attention with styling options and graphics!
Share Knowledge:
As educators well know, one of the most effective ways for students to learn is through the sharing of information with their peers. Peers can sometimes convey knowledge to each other in ways that are easier to stomach and decipher for students. ProProfs Quiz School has a discussion/comments feature on all quizzes so that students can discuss the quiz, ask each other questions, and even prompt the teacher for help or feedback.
Web Safe:
Every quiz opens in its own stand-alone page, shielding it from other quizzes and pages. You can even embed it in your own page or learning management system!
Conduct your interviews or even just the preliminary phases of interviews using quizzes. ProProfs Quiz School allows you to create branded and secure quizzes to maintain a corporate feel while capitalizing on the features Quiz School has to offer. Develop a short list of potential candidates by using the Summary Report feature to compare quiz attempts and responses. Test their knowledge or personality makeup by including multiple-choice questions while at the same time mixing in essay or short answer questions that would be asked in traditional interview settings. Screening becomes a breeze as you can sift through many different candidates from all walks of life, ensuring the widest possible candidate base and therefore the best employees. In addition, Quiz School allows you to show/hide quiz results so that proprietary corporate answers are never revealed to potential candidates.
Customer Assessments:
Use ProProfs Quiz School as a means of creating tests & quizzes for customers - highly useful for technical products where customers may want to test knowledge in specific product areas. Employ branded, corporate-style quizzes to ensure that customers understand the product and related knowledge areas.
Analyze:
After your employees/customers complete any quizzes, use ProProfs Quiz School to take a look at statistical and analytic data like average and high scores, question difficulty, location data, and even quiz report snapshots to determine if your questions should be modified or if quizzes are too easy/tough. Using analysis features keeps your company′s quizzes relevant and appropriately difficult.
Training:
Use ProProfs Quiz School to conduct corporate training, requiring a certain score to be achieved to demonstrate understanding and completion. For full effect, issue a certificate of completion upon passing the quiz so that employees are encouraged and can showcase their understanding all of the information you need them to know.
Testing:
Ensure your employees stay sharp with occasional self testing. Employees can be required to provide a name so you can provide them feedback on basis of their test results. Testing will help employees stay on the cutting edge and ensures confidence & reinforcement.
Brand your quizzes with your logo and formatting, include your links in quizzes, and style your quiz like your blog.
