Signing up to ClassMarker is free or you can pay a fee depending on how you want to use your online test. Class based testing (free) is what I used and this would allow my students to register under my account and log in to complete the test (ClassMarker, 2009). When creating a quiz you can choose different types of questions to use for example: multiple choice, multiple response, true/false, free text or punctuation (ClassMarker, 2009). The aspect I really found interesting in Class Marker was that you can add pictures and videos to the questions.
Theory and classroom uses for ClassMarker
I think ClassMarker would be a good way to provide students with a fun and engaging quiz. It could be used before you start teaching the students a new topic to gauge prior knowledge or it could be used on completion to determine what students have learnt.
The Learning Design Framework (2003), needs three key elements to create the most effective learning experience for all students. These three elements are tasks learners are required to do, resources that support the learner to conduct the task and support mechanisms that exist from the teacher implementing it (Oliver, 1999). Online quizzes provide students with all of these aspects.
