Examination of factual knowledge
Examination of factual knowledge and learning objectives of the type “describe, name, list, identify, quote, choose” can be carried out through e.g. a quiz.
The Inspera and Studium systems have support for these question types through, among other things, multiple choice, pair together, and fill in the blank questions. More information about quiz in Studium.
For examinations with multiple choice questions, the questions must be formulated in such a way that the examinee cannot conclude which answer is correct without having subject knowledge.
When using a quiz, the examination time can be limited to prevent cheating, but it is important that it is the examinees’ knowledge level that is examined, not their tolerance to stress or anything else. Questions in a quiz can also be randomised so that not all examinees get the same questions. In such case, the questions are entered into a question bank. Keep in mind that the questions must be equivalent so that the degree of difficulty remains the same, regardless of how they are randomised. Whether the examinees are given the same questions or not, the order of the questions can be randomised to hinder unauthorised collaboration.
Test and check the quiz in the student view before it is published.
