| Tool | Pros | Cons |
| Blackboard | * Security- students must login as themselves to access the quiz, then they are matched to the Bb gradebook | * can be cumbersome to create * tricky to get a nice report out of the test data |
| Google Forms | * many question types (t/f, matching, ordering, hot spot, etc) | * need a Google account * must enter a question to know who is taking the quiz |
| Zoho Challenge | * can set a time limit and provide immediate feedback | * only multiple choice or open-ended questions |
| ProProfs Quiz Maker | * provides immediate feedback | * only multiple choice questions |
| My Studiyo | * modern look | * no tracking of quiz takers |
| That Quiz | *wiki-like meaning you can use quizzes other teachers have made | * dated look |
Overall: For me personally, I would stick with Blackboard because I am used to it. However, delving further into Google Forms might be worth the effort.
Nice sharing, I think maybe ProProfs Quiz Maker is the easiest quiz maker that I've ever used before. I've been a lecturer for quite a few years, and in my professional opinion, if you're a teacher or a trainer, I suggest Articulate Quizmaker and Wondershare QuizCreator. Check them at:

Crangle, thanks for your ideas. We are a school that uses Blackboard, but many teachers find it not user friendly. I will check out your suggestions.
ReplyDeleteHi Dausing,

Thanks, Kerry. Is there a way for teachers to share their assessments in blackboard?
ReplyDeleteHaving a way to track data is key-and keeping the format consistent but fresh is always important to me in getting reliable feedback.

You can always export a test or survey in blackboard and send that to another teacher who can then import it to their class (if that's what you mean by sharing).
ReplyDeleteSame with the assessment data. You can export it to an excel file and share it.
If you want a teacher and their students to participate in the same assessment in your class, you'd have to add them to your class.
