EDT4OL/Intermediate wiki skills/Quizzes

Overview
This mini challenge is divided into four steps.

Step 1: Review examples of wiki-based interactive quiz questions
Familiarise yourself with the following wiki-based quiz types by answering the following questions. Please select incorrect answers as well to observe how feedback works for each quiz type. Refresh / reload your browser page to reload questions after answering.

Step 2: Consider the advantages and limitations of wiki-based quiz questions
Wiki-based interactive quiz questions are quick and easy to set up using the basic structure of a nested bullet list with an associated template for managing the layout within an iDevice. They are well suited to formative assessment applications because they provide learners with immediate feedback on correct and incorrect answers.

Compared with H5P interactive content, wiki-based quiz questions are simpler to set up because they are created within the wiki and do not require knowledge of different software. In addition, as wiki text, it is easy to work collaboratively with fellow teachers on developing and editing questions because the wiki provides a detailed edit history, when compared to third-party quiz authoring tools, including H5P, that don't support collaborative editing. On the other hand, H5P provides scope for more varied interactions, for example, embedding quiz questions within videos or interactive slides.

Wiki-based questions are not suited for summative assessment, because:
 * they do not track results, and
 * learners with knowledge of HTML will be able to view the page source to determine the answers before answering the question.

H5P questions are also open to abuse by learners who can view the page source to see the answers, and results cannot be tracked unless the H5P is incorporated into a learning management system.

If you are planning to use objective items for grading purposes, it would be better, for example, to use a learning management system for administering summative assessments.

Step 3: Practise editing a cloze quiz
Review the basic wiki markup for a cloze quiz, then follow the steps to create and edit a cloze quiz.

Create and edit a simple cloze quiz
Purpose: To use wiki markup to publish a cloze quiz with two questions.


 * 1) Draft text suitable for two cloze items highlighting the words to be filled in.
 * 2) Open your sandbox page in a new tab or window.
 * 3) Insert the following syntax   in edit mode onto your sandbox page. This will create a subpage for practising wiki-based quizzes.
 * 4) Copy the markup for a simple cloze quiz (from  Step 3 above) onto the quizzes subpage you set up on your sandbox page, and save the page.
 * 5) Practise editing a cloze quiz item by:
 * 6) * Changing the ID number
 * 7) * Changing the display title for your quiz
 * 8) * Inserting two cloze items for users to complete
 * 9) * Saving and testing your cloze quiz.

Step 4: Practise editing a true-false and multiple choice quiz
Purpose: To use wiki markup to publish true-false and multiple choice questions.

The same wiki markup from the  template is used for both true-false and multiple choice questions.

Create and edit a true-false and multiple choice question
Purpose: To use wiki markup to publish interactive true-false and multiple choice questions.


 * 1) Draft text suitable for a true-false and a multiple choice question.
 * 2) Open your sandbox page in a new tab or window.
 * 3) Copy the markup for a true false and multiple choice question from  Step 4 above, onto the quizzes subpage you set up on your sandbox page, and save the page.
 * 4) Practise editing a true-false and a multiple choice item by:
 * 5) * Changing the ID number
 * 6) * Changing the display title for your quizzes
 * 7) * Editing the markup for your questions. Ensure that you indicate correct and incorrect answers in the feedback options.
 * 8) * Saving and testing your quiz items.
