Egg Quizz is a fantastic tool for the busy classroom teacher.
With this tool, online quizzes can be created with very little effort and there are choices of various question types including multiple choice, multiple response, fill in the blank, true/false, word list, essay, matching, and ordering.
All of the information goes into the spreadsheet which is accessible to the quiz creator. Also included in the spreadsheet is information such as how long it took the student to complete the quiz and it gives the final grade percentage.
I love this application!
I used it to create an entire end of week reading quiz for my class. Of course it is important to test the quiz to be sure it works correctly, and it is a good thing I did. The first time through, I made a couple of mistakes such as not creating the class correctly so they could access it, and I chose to randomize the order of questions so they would be mixed for each student to minimize the chances of cheating. Unfortunately, when I randomized, I didn't realize that even the questions which went with a separate short story would be pushed to another group of questions. Ultimately, after working out the bugs, the test was a success and saved me time from grading papers.
When first checking out the site, it said there was a $50. charge for unlimited quizzes for a year. After creating my first quiz, the "special introductory price" if ordered within 5 days of my first quiz, dropped to $30. for a year.
To me, and several teachers I know, $30 is well worth the price to create online quizzes which do the grading for us. I know that Google Docs also can create online quizzes, but you must create the formula to have it grade the quiz. I have tried both, and definitely prefer www.eggquizz.com
