Creating a quiz in Google Forms

You can create self-marking quizzes in Google Forms – most useful if your school has Internet access for all learners on tablets or PCs.

Instructions

Create a self-marking quiz using Google forms

1. Go online and find out how to create such a self-marking quiz using Google forms but the videos below are very clear.
2. Make all the questions on ONE topic from a subject field.
3. Arrange the questions in the correct order, i.e. those collecting information about the student do not have a mark attached and are before the ‘questions’
4. Use at least 2 different types of questions, e.g. True/False, Multiple choice, choose from a list. Do not use ‘Other’ as the computer cannot mark an ‘Other’ question.
5. Make sure at least one question interprets a map, graph or image. Make sure the image is connected to the question. Do not give the image a label. Place the image below the question.
6. Check that the self-marking quiz works – test it yourself, then get friends to test it.
7. Quiz
1. Have a look at http://theelearningcoach.com/elearning_design/rules-for-multiple-choice-questions/
2. Check the answer options – all should be possible, but only one is correct
3. Make sure that all words are spelt correctly
4. Make sure that each question begins with a capital letter and ends with a question mark. A question usually begins with Who, When, Where or How.
5. The questions must be grammatically correct
6. The answers must have capital letters where required.
8. When you have made the quiz make it available to a few and get them to do the quiz.
9. Get the results of the quiz analysed and presented in graph format.
10. Provide an analysis of the results in chart format in real-time, i.e. my results must be displayed.
11. The quiz must look good.
