In QuizSite instructors maintain a database of items, group them in exams, quizzes, or surveys, and schedule those events for online administration. Quizzes and Exams QuizSite offers a very flexible and completely automated scheduler for exams and quizzes. Instructors have the freedom to base their item banks on any taxonomy they like. Instructors can also consult the electronic logs that record student activity to identify and focus on the specific help that one or more students may need with respect to a problem. Evaluations and Surveys Instructors value feedback about their course, especially when the course is still in progress.
Formative evaluations permit mid-course modifications that can improve course quality.
From the students' perspective, feedback opportunities encourage a sense of ownership in the course. As students provide course feedback, they not only influence the course with their opinions, but improve communication between themselves and their instructors. In QuizSite, feedback can be either anonymous or nonanoynmous, according to the faculty's preference. With access set accordingly, QuizSite acts as a third party between students and their instructors to guard the accuracy and the validity of the access policy that has been agreed upon. Implementation and Use QuizSite has been used by more than 70 instructors in about the same number of courses, with a total enrollment of about 5,700 students.
