Inserting a video into an exam will bring you many benefits. Here I present three of them for you to check out.
Video enables you to give different questions in the exam paper - With a video, you can enrich your exam paper with unusual questions. For example, in language learning, you can use a Situation Comedy to present some speech skills and then ask questions about it. Also, you can use a video to play a recent event (e.g. oil spills), and ask your students to say something about it.
There are three levels of using the assessment tools. Are you in the basic level or in the highest level? Read this passage and find it out.
The first level: Assessment tools for teachers are as only testing tools-In this level, the online assessments are like offline paper tests, we only type in plain text into the online assessment and let the students take them. In other words, what the students can see is only text. There are no pictures or other multimedia elements. Because, you don’t need to choose multimedia elements(e.g. pictures or videos), this level of using assessment tools can save teachers and trainers a lot of time. But it’s not good for the students, because they may feel bored and tired about the plain text.
The second level: Assessment tools for teachers are as a teaching aid-Unlike the first level, in the second level, the assessment tool can not only perform the role of testing, but also the role of teaching. This means, you can use assessment tools, such as QuizCreator, to insert instructional contents (e.g. a story with pictures, a funny joke or simply a video) before giving the test. This enables learners to get familiar with the content first, and then take the test. In this level, students may not feel so bored and you have the assessment tools as your teaching assistant.
Over the years, I have had the pleasure of revising company induction manuals to improve staff training and what I have found is that just about every company makes the same mistakes in its training materials.
And even when it comes to e-learning, most companies are still making the same mistakes.
Given that the quality of your induction training can actually determine whether a new starter will want to stay or not, it’s imperative to have the best training materials you can.  So which of these common mistakes do you have in your elearning training:
We often think that a math test generator is just for generating tests. Actually, a math test generator should be more than that. It can play the role a teacher. Why? When students take a test, they also need the feedback to tell them what the right answer is, and they need someone there to inspire them to keep going. We can use a math test generator to do the following things.
1, Using a math test generator to grab students’ attention-When we pay our attention to things - whatever they are, we learn new knowledge. Many things can grab people’s attention, such as strange things, interesting things, lovely things, etc. A good math test maker has the power to integrate stories, pictures or videos (these things can be really interesting, can’t they?) with a test. Before students taking the test, their attention will be grabed into the test. Once we grab students’ attention, we can give the students a small test to stimulate their thought. Let’s view a example.
Online assessment and offline assessment are the main forms of assessment right now. Each type of the two assessments has its own advantages and disavantages. However, we can combine these two types of assessment together by using teacher test maker software.  Let’s start the journey by understanding these two assessments.
Online assessment
Online assessment is fairly popular. A lot of people learn and take tests online. This is a symbol of the Information Age.
Real example of using online assessment
Examples of using online assessment include state drivers’ license exams, military training exams, job application exams in the private sector, entrance exams in postsecondary eduction, and certification exams by professional groups.
Benefits of online assessment
There are many potential benefits and advantages associated with computer-based tests including immediate scoring and reporting and greater test security. Additional advantages include flexible test administration schedules, reduced costs compared to handling paper-based test materials, the use of multimedia item types, and the ability to measure response time.
I’ve made the following computer-based test with a teacher test maker–QuizCreator as a demo of an online test. The user ID and password for the following test are both “123″.
