I have a list of nice online test services and today I’d like to share them with you.
While quizzes might not be the most inventive way to
learn, they're still useful for memorizing and recalling facts, assessing
knowledge, or getting quick info at the end of a lecture or presentation.
Because of their utility, there are tons of different apps, websites, and games
out there for swiftly creating and delivering everything from quizzes and flash
cards to polls and exit tickets. Some lean more into play, allowing teachers to
host classroom game shows, while others shift more toward learning, facilitating
formative assessments.
Quizlet
is a polished tool for learning vocabulary. The standout feature is its
flash-card-based study tools. If you want to help students prep for tests,
there's really nothing better. Students can use study sets that teachers
assign, create their own, or use one from the content library. It does have a
paid subscription. This is a quality study tool that helps students learn and
memorize facts, especially with a paid subscription.
Pros:
works well for personal study sessions or game show-style competition.
Cons:
- teachers can’t write open-ended questions into the quiz;
- paid subscription.
I’m absolutely crazy about it. Also, I have created a study set, so you can observe this service in practice. Here is the link.
Google Forms gives educators a powerful data collection tool. A good formative assessment allows you to be quickly responsive to student needs. Google Forms gives you the data from students instantly after they press submit. Since all student answers are together in one spreadsheet it is easy to quickly get a snapshot of how the students are understanding. Google Forms lets you create a survey with lots of different kinds of questions:
- Short answer
- Long answer
- Multiple choice
- Checkboxes
- Drop-down menu
… and more.
Pros:
- the ability to quickly create a formative assessment;
- rapidly respond to data;
- the data is stored in Google Drive for easy access;
- no paid subscription.
Generally, I'm fond of Google Forms as a test service. I have created a test, so you can observe this service in practice. Here is the link to my test. And let's see the statistics:
3. Socrative
Socrative is a great app to determine which students
are actually getting the material you are presenting and which ones are
struggling.
Pros:
- while creating the quizzes, teachers can add their own feedback to appear in addition to the correct answer;
- teachers can include open-ended questions in their quizzes;
- teachers will get to see who got the correct response, keep track of scores and will save time grading.
Cons:
- during the lesson, teachers can’t view which students have completed the questions or what they have written during the lesson;
- if you lose your internet connection during a test or quiz, your results will not be sent to you by e-mail.
- A student can crash your class during a different period as long as they know the room number.
What makes Socrative unique?
When teachers sign up, they are assigned a classroom
and a PIN code that students can use to login to their classroom.
