Whether you are teaching your students in-person or virtually, if you’re anything like me, you’re always searching for ways to make your lessons more interactive and engaging for your students. I’ve recently found that using an online quiz maker to add a few focused questions to the end of my lessons has helped me get a better gauge for how my students are understanding the content I’m teaching. I did some research and found a few excellent online quiz makers designed for educators, as well as a few focused on marketing and business.
One of our goals as educators is to help our students learn and retain as much information as possible. Creating interactive lessons where students are engrossed and involved in the learning is one of the most effective ways to do this. If you are teaching virtually this year, you may be wondering how to truly engage your students when they’re sitting on the other side of a computer screen. While interactive lessons may look different with virtual learning, they are not impossible to achieve.
An online quiz maker can help you create a quiz that will assess whether students have met your learning objectives for the lesson. Most quiz makers will also allow you to customize the look of the quiz, change backgrounds, and add images or even videos to your slides. These components will help your students be more excited and focused on what you want them to complete.
