In this session you will discover some of the principles and good practice involved in building quiz questions for online assessment purposes. You will learn about question types and behaviour as well as the value of providing useful feedback to help to embed learning. You will explore how to devise a quiz which engages and retains the interest of learners without asking them to write essay type answers.
