In an effort to reduce the usage of paper in my classes and to streamline the assessment process, I wanted to find a way to administer quizzes online.
The first site that I signed up with was ProProfs Quiz School. This is a good site. I wrote about it on this blog a month ago.
I have a couple of criticisms of ProProfs.
Firstly, students do not create accounts. Therefore, the marks that a particular student receives on a series of tests are not centralized. Therefore, finding the scores for a student requires examining the scores for each test one by one.
Secondly, students cannot go back and review their answers. One of my students complained that he hated my online quizzes because he could not go back. If a student accidently clicks the wrong button, then their mistake is irreversible.
I found a new website that has all of the features of ProProfs, plus it solves the two aforementioned problems. Students must create an account; therefore, all their scores can be viewed on a single page. And, there is an option to allow students to go back when they are taking a quiz.
The site is ClassMarker.
