How to Create Great Quizzes for Rapid e-Learning

The quizzes in your rapid e-Learning courses don’t have to be the same old question and answer style –you can design them as a means to help and engage your learners. Use these ideas for a fresh way to approach the typical e-Learning quiz:

Progress ChecksCreate progress checks throughout your course as a no-pressure way to review the key points as your learners progress through the course. Here are some ways you can use progress checks:

  • A brief review after each section
  • To break down difficult concepts
  • After processes to examine the steps
  • As a means to compare different sections, concepts, etc. and their relation to the whole course

Custom feedbackBreak away from the standard “Correct” and “Incorrect” feedback messages of quizzes and provide unique feedback to each quiz question. This is a fantastic way to encourage your learners to find the right answers. Here are some ideas for quiz answer feedback:

  • Point to resources or locations in the course that may help the learner find the correct answer
  • Help learners with a quick explanation of why their particular answer is incorrect
  • Encourage your learners or praise their correct answers
  • Just for fun! Custom feedback adds a great sense of personality to online courses.
