Teachers and instructors, here's a cool tool that will definitely come in handy in your classroom.
BooRoo is a quiz-making website that lets you create quizzes for free in all kinds of formats (fill in the blanks, multiple choice, essay, etc.) and share them in all kinds of ways (email, print, or embedded in your blog or site). And if you choose to make your quiz public, your colleagues and other users can take, rate, and comment on your quiz, and perhaps even give some useful feedback on your quiz style.
The really cool part is that you can make a secure online quiz in your own theme and colors, have only your students take it, and BooRoo will do all the grading for you! It will also provide you with statistics and analytic information about all of your questions, such as what percentage of your class missed each question.
When teaching any course, it's important to not only evaluate the course objectives but also assess one's students in an authentic manner. And by authentic, I'm referring to assessment methods that show your students' ability to apply knowledge and skills to the real world and make them applicable and meaningful.
One way to evaluate courses and students is by using online quizzes like BooRoo. What's neat about this new technology is that it gives teachers the ability to select question types and integrate support material such as images and video.
BooRoo can also calculate the percentages of students who answered questions correctly. For teachers like you, this gives you a sense of class data as a whole, as well as allows you to look at individual student responses to the assessment.
BooRoo's interface is easy to use and lets you add names and addresses manually or by importing them from a text file. You can track a respondent's identity through the quiz, and when you design a quiz, you can save it, edit, and reuse it later on.
So the next time you make a quiz for your class, try using BooRoo it may just make your job a little bit easier!
