Teacher FAQ’s

Do I need to mark the Quiz Questions?

There are two forms for the quiz questions. Students may use the online questions with multiple choice answers, and be marked by the system automatically. Alternatively, students may download pdf files of selected quizzes, and write their answers, as this provides extra difficulty with no multi-choice prompts to guide them. Then you may want to review their answers and mark their performance accordingly.

How do I run a competition with the Related Topics Questions?

If you want a competitive exercise where students answer questions to excel amongst their peers, simply download the Competition Pack under the relevant Quiz area.

How do I see the results for my students?

Your dashboard should allow a view of student progress, as a percentage of completion. From there you can follow up with each student offering feedback as required. Their engagement may prompt further exercises, a competition, or further reading.
