Best Practices for Developing Effective Corporate E-Learning Quizzes (Full Transcript)

Speaker 1: Welcome to LMS Portals. The best practices for the development of corporate e-learning courses includes the use of one or more quizzes or other forms of assessment. The use of quizzes not only ensures learner comprehension of your content, it also helps to evaluate the effectiveness of your materials and your presentation style. Creating quizzes, like every other aspect of course development, requires thought and planning. To be effective, you need to consider how often and at which points of the course to add a quiz, as well as how to develop questions that will accurately assess how well your learners are grasping the training material. The following are five tips to consider when creating your e-learning quizzes. For starters, it's important to determine at which points in your course to add a quiz. The goal is to assess comprehension without adding so many quizzes that you disrupt the flow of your course. Many course designers choose to end each module with a quiz, and then end the course with a final assessment. Your quiz questions should serve to reinforce your course material and support your course objectives. Including questions that assess learner comprehension of key aspects of the material will help ensure that your course is achieving its desired objectives. Each question should be clear and succinct. The more concisely you formulate your questions, the better. Use as few words as possible for each question with the goal of making it challenging without attempting to trick or deceive the learner in any way. For multiple choice questions, it may be tempting to write your incorrect choices in a way that makes them obvious, but the goal should be to add incorrect choices that effectively call out any learner confusion or a lack of true comprehension on the key course objectives. While you may not expect your learners to achieve a perfect score on each quiz in order to pass the course, you should consider setting a minimum score they must achieve to pass each quiz and to successfully complete your course overall.
