Mobile Delivery of Quizzes, Surveys and Practice Tests
With so many learners frequently on the go, smartphones and other handheld devices are ideal for delivering low-stakes assessments, for example:
Quick follow-up quizzes
Product knowledge checks for sales people
Surveys or course evaluations
Auto-sensing and auto-sizing makes it possible to deliver to a variety of different devices regardless of their differing screen sizes and technology platforms – including the Blackberry®, HTC Touch, HTC Fuze, Samsung Epix, Apple iPhone®, iPad™ and iPod touch®. Your assessment will be easy to take, and you can process the results of all your assessments together, regardless of the many different devices on which they’re delivered.
Now it's easier than ever to deliver assessments to multiple different types of devices, or to create learning and assessment mash-ups by embedding quizzes or surveys within wikis, blogs and web pages.
Questionmark's auto-sensing, auto-sizing delivery features take the guesswork out of blended delivery, enabling you to author an assessment once, schedule it once and then deliver it in as many different ways as they like.
When delivering an assessment, Perception v5 auto-senses the participant’s device and browser, then delivers the assessment formatted appropriately for the device/browser’s requirements. Perception’s “on the fly” auto-sizing dynamically adjusts and sizes the “screen furniture” and “skin” of an assessment – the buttons, controls and template graphics — so they fit (and look great) on just about any screen size or resolution imaginable.
Embed Quizzes and Surveys in Wikis, Blogs, Portals and Websites
Wikis, web pages and blogs lend themselves effectively to delivering learning content. They give people the opportunity to contribute, discuss and consume knowledge. By embedding assessment into these resources we can not only provide information but also a knowledge check to re-force learning and assist in reducing the forgetting curve. In addition, when wikis, web pages and blogs are used as a job-aid the person can check their abilities before they return to performing a task.
Example Embedded Assessment
Implementing solutions like this can improve the user’s experience and create an easy to access and more effective learning environment. Often, embedding assessments in wikis, web pages and blogs can help to improve the users learning experience by:
Maintaining a single place to learn and assess yourself
Personalizing the process of learning and assessing to ensure the relevance to the learner
Focusing the learners’ attention
Provide feedback to assist the learner correct misconceptions, practice their memory recall, and provide confidence in what they do actually know
Assessments can also be embedded in wiki, web page or blog platforms to help learners:
Create intrigue and identify what they need to learn before they access the learning material. The assessment feedback can even direct the learners to the relevant material in the wiki, web page, or blog
Identify what the learner has successfully learnt/recalled from the learning material they used
Other benefits of embedding an assessment into these platforms, include:
Providing a seamless user experience
Giving more focused knowledge sharing based on the results
Combining other media within Perception or within the web resource.
