About 72% of the students attempted the quiz more than once, and significantly improved their grades.

Knowing that there are more attempts available gives them the confidence they need to perform better.
Start with a clear and measurable statement of objectives. Develop a theory about how program activities will lead to improved outcomes (a program logic) and structure the evaluation questions around that logic. Let the evaluation questions determine the evaluation method.
It simply means determining the attributes or dimensions of an object, skill or knowledge. We use common objects in the physical world to measure, such as tape measures, scales and meters. These measurement tools are held to standards and can be used to obtain reliable results.
Effective formative assessment strategies involve asking students to answer well-thought-out, higher-order questions such as “why” and “how.” Higher-order questions require more in-depth thinking from the students and help the teacher discern the level and extent of the students’ understanding.

The assessment of distance learning is a process that: Consists in collecting information on the learning accomplished by a student and in interpreting this information.

The quizzes help the student to learn with practice, as they allow the students to think back to the information previously learned and remember them while quizzing. … With practicing quizzes, students can do critical thinking, and get into a habit of innovative learning.
An educational quiz is a simple, yet effective way to check learners’ knowledge. By putting them online, you can make the assessment process even easier.
