They are fantastic for identifying and addressing misconceptions, but they require careful planning and preparation to ensure they are worthwhile and have impact on learning.

Robert and Elizabeth Bjork’s research (1994) coined, ‘desirable difficulties‘ is the notion that “learning requires an active process of interpretation” rather than the idea that memory works like a tape or a video recorder, that by re-exposing yourself to the same material over and over, you will somehow remember it.

The research on MCQs also recommends several considerations. In this resource, I signpost a range of recommendations for teachers to consider when designing their own or generating quizzes using software.
