Making the Most of the Quiz Feature
Conducted on: February 17, 2009
Presenter: Ruth Kinder, The Ohio State University at Lima
The webinar provided suggestions on how to make the most of the learning assistance role of the quiz feature. Individualized learning assistance is especially necessary for courses which have either limited opportunities for individual questions and answers (such as very large lecture sections), courses which are flexibly paced, and courses which have a significant online off-campus component.
