What’s one of the most time consuming activities you, an educator, has when you create a quiz? Test checking!
Quizzes and exams are an essential and integral part of education. They are valuable educational tool which have been used to gauge learning and skill levels for thousands of years.
I’m sure you know what I’m talking about because during your career, you’ve administered tons of these to your students. You also understand, then, how it feels to spend the weekend glued to your seat, while your family and friends are out in the backyard enjoying the barbeque.
Let’s imagine your weekend with a little bit more detail, shall we? Hunched over your desk, creating little check or cross marks with your trusty red pen. It is quite a tedious task considering you have 79 test papers still waiting to be checked.
If you ask me, it’s a waste of time for an educator such as yourself, with a brilliant mind, to be stuck with this monotonous and administrative function when you can be out inspiring minds, researching on better teaching methods or maybe even getting well-deserved r&r.
“So how do I create a quiz that doesn’t require checking?”
Well luckily, with today’s technology there are tons of quiz maker software programs that help automate the test making and taking process. We might be biased, but our favorite tool is our very own called Question Writer.
Now, you want to know how this can help right? Well, to stay true to the title of this article, you won’t need to check quizzes you make using our quiz software. So no more hunching over your chair for hours on end. And yes, you read right! The software will automatically check answers (so you won’t have to) and even deliver the results to your email. Awesome!
Of course being the honest person I am, about the only things Question Writer won’t be able to check are essay and explanation question types- and it’s quite obvious why. But for multiple choice, true / false, partial credit, matching, sequencing and fill in the blank question types, you can say goodbye to checking.
Here’s another bonus: with our software you can also manage all your quizzes and results in one place thanks to our quiz management software: Question Writer Tracker. And it’s free for all licensed Question Writer owners.
So, what are you waiting for? If you want to save time on checking papers, download Question Writer now. See how much of a time-saver it is so you can do more valuable things with your time, instead of staying glued to your chair on weekends.
