The power of gmail - tests made of questions set up by your students - easy marks for you

You want your students to work collaboratively? You want useful results? You want to create even more possibilities with them?


How about students setting up a test for you about for example a movie you asked them to watch? You will be able to rate them on the quality of their questions - plus you are able to reuse them as a test in another learning group having watched the same movie.

This is how it goes - I stumbled over the extended new google drive functionalities.

Clicking on the forms button - see below:




Will open up a google form - you can use it to create questions - but also there is the possibilities to add collaborators like this:




Now you just invite your students via their email addresses and then they are able to add questions they find important to ask and being answered.

What a great way to create a quiz / test. Once they are finished you can send out the form to another group of learners and use their answers to rate their learning progress.

Should be quite easy to mark, if you get a spreadsheet filled with their answers, right?
Especially if you ask your students to create multiple choice questions.

Tried, worked and I will surely reuse it. Possibly those questions can be somehow imported into moodle quizzes - but not there yet.
