Hi everyone,

 

I have set up a 'quiz' section at my web-site so that students can type
in their answers to the chapter questions and get the answers.  They
MUST create a logon to do this - as they will get the answers emailed to
them.  Their email address must therefore be valid - and I won't be
using their email address for any other purpose (you can assure them of
this if they ask!)

 

Once they create a logon, they can access the quizzes by selecting 'SD
chapter questions' from under the 'Resource Library' main menu option.
They can then select the chapter quiz they wish to do, type in their
answers and click 'submit'.  Once they do this, the answers are
displayed on the screen and they receive an email with their responses
and answers.

 

 

 

 

 

There is a feature that will tell students how 'accurate' they have
been.  This feature is a bit experimental and is based on the presence
of keywords in their answer.  Please stress to students that this
doesn't mean that their answer is 'wrong' - as there are so many
different ways that an answer can be expressed - but is just a bit of
feedback that tells them (perhaps) how far they were from an 'ideal'
answer (take it with a grain of salt).

 

I have a section at the bottom of the page where (in the future)
students can put their teachers email address to send a copy to them -
this is not quite working yet.  However, if you want to check that your
students are completing questions - you can simply ask them to forward
the email that they receive to you (which is what I am doing so that I
can mark off that they have completed the questions).

 

I will be adding chapter quizzes as the year goes on - at the moment,
chapters 1 and 2 are up.

 

Please let me know what you think (it is a work in progress), but
hopefully it is usefully to you!

 

Cheers,

Adrian Janson
