Making Quizzes For I-Pod

With the increment inwards involvement inwards mobile learning as well as the ubiquitous nature of the i-pod alongside our younger (and increasingly older) students this slice of software looks similar a actually useful tool nosotros tin give the sack purpose to extend learning beyond the classroom.

The software I’m referring to is I-Quiz Maker. You tin give the sack download I-Quiz Maker for complimentary at:
http://www.iquizmaker.com/

Once you’ve installed it yous tin give the sack brand quizzes using either True / False query types or Multiple Choice questions. The quizzes a real unproblematic to brand as well as yous tin give the sack brand every bit many questions every bit yous similar as well as every bit many quizzes, every bit yous like.
This looks similar a actually useful tool to:
  • help revise as well as educate your students vocabulary. You tin give the sack write a vocabulary quiz as well as up- appointment it each calendar week with novel words that your students convey learned
  • get the students to create quizzes for each other as well as percentage them
  • set upward revision exercises
Although in that place is a fleck of move involved inwards creating the quizzes, 1 time yous made them you’ll move able to proceed them as well as purpose them 1 time to a greater extent than with other students.

Once yous convey finished creating your quiz yous tin give the sack as well as hence export it to your desktop as well as it tin give the sack move uploaded to the I-pod through I-Tunes. The exclusively grab hither is that yous as well as / or your students volition bespeak to purchase the I-Quiz game for your I-pod. It is actually inexpensive though (less than 1 United States of America dollar / 79 p inwards the UK) as well as it does come upward with some ready-made quizzes.

What I similar most it
  • You tin give the sack laid the quizzes hence that students acquire a maximum discover of questions inwards each game as well as hence that they release later a specific discover of incorrect answers. This should croak far to a greater extent than competitive.
  • The game volition randomise the questions hence yous could input fifty questions as well as they would acquire 10 or xx random questions each game.
  • It’s real tardily to purpose as well as is but unproblematic betoken as well as click
  • You tin give the sack update quizzes hence that they grow every bit your students’ cognition grows
  • There's a version for PC as well as for MAC!

What I’m non hence certain about
  • Students volition bespeak an i-pod, they can’t but run the quiz on their estimator or i-Tunes
  • The game is exclusively compatible with Fifth generation i-pods (This may croak an wages every bit to a greater extent than people merchandise upward to to a greater extent than modern versions as well as the older ones croak available to a greater extent than cheaply minute hand) which isn’t much assist for students with older i-pods.
  • I couldn’t acquire the user manual to download hence in that place wasn’t much documentation to assist me larn how to purpose the software
  • I recollect in that place may convey been 1 to a greater extent than query type, but I couldn’t acquire the push clitoris for it to move ??
  • Students volition convey to purchase the I-Quiz game (though every bit I said it’s quite cheap) as well as that agency setting upward an i-tunes account.
On the whole though, despite the higher upward drawbacks, if yous convey a classroom amount of students who comport i-pods most as well as hence this could move but the matter for you.

Let me know how it goes

Best
