This guide will help you design impactful Klaxoon Quizzes to measure comprehension in an accurate and engaging way.
1 - Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
MCQs are great for testing the recognition and understanding of specific concepts.
-
Choosing the correct answer:
Formulate a clear and concise question.
Make sure there is only one right answer.
Example: "What is the capital of France?" (Answer: Paris)
-
Design of distractors (false answers):
The distractors must be plausible but clearly false.
Avoid answers that are too obvious or, conversely, too far-fetched.
Use common mistakes or misconceptions as distractors to better identify gaps.
Example: For the question "What is the capital of France?", the distractors could be "London", "Berlin", "Madrid".
2 - Single Choice Questions (QCU)
Use QCUs in the form of a True/False to check the understanding of accurate facts or statements.
-
Clarity of the statement:
Make sure the statement is unambiguous.
Avoid double negatives that can be confusing.
Example: "Klaxoon is a collaborative tool." (Answer: True)
3 - Fill-in-the-blank text
Fill-in-the-blank texts are excellent for assessing the memorization of key terms or the comprehension of structured sentences.
-
Relevance of the missing word:
Choose a word that is essential to understanding the sentence.
Don't leave too many gaps, so that the context remains clear.
Example: "The human brain is the central organ of the ____________ system." (Answer: nervous)
💡Tips for pedagogical progression
For a truly effective Quiz, the way you structure your questions and provide feedback is crucial:
-
Pedagogical progression:
Start with simpler questions to build confidence and gradually increase in difficulty.
Group questions by theme or concept for better evaluation logic.
Use the Quiz not only to assess, but also to reinforce learning by introducing new concepts or returning to key points.
