Can quizzes be fun?

Most of us like to make things react to us. We pet dogs and love their tale wag reaction. We pet cats and delight in their soft purr. Hallmark sells animatronic snowmen at Christmas simply because patrons love to press their little red buttons to make them dance and sing. It’s in our nature. So why not apply this same principle to make the mundane, fun.

We have an opportunity with Excel to make taking quizzes fun. We can ask questions, validate answers, and reward students with cute animations for each correct answer. And when they get all answers right, reward them with a more impressive display. Want to try an animated quiz? Click this:
