Tips for Use

Provide students with clear instructions on the format and the timeframe that they must complete the quiz/short exercises.
Let students know the digital equipment/tools they need access to and if the assessment will be available to them remotely and or in an on-campus environment.
Ideally allow them a ‘practice run’ in advance of the quiz/short exercise, where they will complete and submit following the same instructions as you intend to provide on the day.
If running an online quiz, consider creating a bank of different questions. By doing this you could give different students a different bank of questions of have the questions randomised through your VLE.
