Developed using a software construction program called ToolBook , the Risk Management Quiz Show is used regularly in introductory risk management classes as well as advanced insurance and employee benefits classes. The students in these classes are primarily upper division undergraduates with a few graduate students taking the course as an elective. Incidentally, it establishes a positive environment in the classroom for repetition of material during reviews by providing an escape from straight lecture format. By selecting different questions and answers, it can easily be adapted to any subject area or educational level. Each game of Risk Management Quiz Show requires about 20 minutes.
Equipment required is a computer and with projection capability.
Description of the Project Risk Management Quiz Show is an interactive game that allows the students to select questions, answer those questions, and then see if they have answered correctly. Risk Management Quiz can be used either by individual students in the computer lab or in an electronic classroom with competing teams. In a classroom setting, students are organized into three teams. Two or three members of each team are players. A player selects a question by naming the category and point value.
