Why quizzes?
When students create questions about their learning, they are engaging in multiple thought processes: recall, understanding, determining the importance of a piece of information, and identifying relevant and irrelevant information. Additionally, students often feel a sense of belonging and ownership in the class if their work is used. Authoring a quiz can be great practice for writing strong questions and using proper grammar and conventions.
Student-generated quizzes can be housed in digital platforms that can cause students to test their own knowledge or compete against others. The competition can serve to keep students engaged.
You might assign quiz authoring when...
you want students to practice different types of thinking such as comparing/contrasting, cause/effect, sequencing, etc.
you want students to be more engaged in learning the content.
you want students to feel a sense of belonging and reduced stress.
you want to enhance or replace an assignment that asks students synthesize their learning.
