1) Include almost any kind of multimedia in your online tests– Imagine students watching a video clip or listening to someone speaking French and then answering questions. Using ExamView, it's easy to build interactive online tests. For tests you deliver via a LAN (local area network), use the multimedia link. Choose to create or edit a question. Then, click the Info button and enter the multimedia file name in the field provided. When students take an online (LAN-based) test, a Media button appears for those questions that include multimedia. Instruct your students to simply click the button to watch a video/animation or listen to an audio segment.
For Internet tests, use the Insert Hyperlink option to link to any file type-video, audio, Flash animation, PDF file, spreadsheet, and so on. Your multimedia files can be located anywhere on the Internet. Hyperlinks provide an almost unlimited number of ways to enhance an online test. For example, you could link to a company's financial report stored as a PDF file and have students answer questions after reading the material. Or you might have students link to a Flash animation or video segment. Why not try enhancing your tests with a multimedia link? For your next online test, include at least one question with a multimedia link. 2) Motivate your students with MindPoint Quiz Show – Whether students need to study for that test tomorrow or prepare for a high-stakes test, getting them to study is a challenge.

3) Get immediate feedback from your students as you teach – You just covered a new topic in class. To check your students' comprehension, you ask a few questions–but did they ALL truly understand the new material? Sound familiar? With QuickTake, you can make sure they understand what you just taught. And if they don't, you can immediately re-teach the concept. QuickTake is also a great tool to review for a test. QuickTake allows you to present ExamView questions in class using a projector. You can use QuickTake as a standalone program or use it with Microsoft PowerPoint. For an interactive experience, combine QuickTake with student response pads from eInstruction. You can use QuickTake with or without student response pads. With the eInstruction pads, student responses are automatically recorded. If you do not have the response pads, simply use QuickTake to display questions for students to answer manually. Even without the pads, you'll save time displaying questions with QuickTake. To learn how one teacher uses QuickTake, check out the ExamView My Way article in this issue of the newsletter.
