Here are a few things I learned about online quizzes while working on the
recycling quiz project.
- Online quizzes can be used for more than pure entertainment, and they can still be entertaining.
- It takes time to do it right. I spent a lot of time writing questions, taking photos and checking the answers for clarity and still see things that I wish I had done differently.
- My gut feeling is that people will retain more from taking a well-constructed quiz than stepping through a slideshow or reading a list of bullets -- if for no other reason than that they're more involved.
