Think of this class. The instructor lets you take the quizzes as many times as possible, yet some don't take advantage of this opportunity. If this were an in-person class, I would still have you take the quizzes online because I believe it takes pressure off your shoulders, and it serves me a different purpose: a tool for learning and teaching. Not every teacher would do that, though. Most people will give you a quiz during class and whatever the result you get, that's it! Think about this for a minute before you leave your comment. What advantages does Quia give you? Would you favor in-class quizzes?

The possibility for education on the Web is amazing, and I consider that the instructional materials and quizes on Quia are powerful and useful tools that provide us with a self-access mode of learning. Also, we get continuous feedback, which allows us to monitor our own progress. Raquel
ReplyDeleteFor me it is difficult to say why other students don’t take advantage of this opportunity. I think they might have their reasons. In my case I try to do the best I can in each of the class activities because I know that is part of my own learning and benefit as student and as a teacher. Also, I think that this class is a one of a kind experience because, never before I have had a class in which I could take a quiz or an exam as many times as possible until I get satisfied with my score. This experience makes me realize that quiz or test can be challenging but also meaningful in learning. I mean there is not only use of route learning in order to get a high score. Believe me I learn something new every time I do the quiz again.
ReplyDeleteAbout Quia I think that it is an excellent tool for teacher and students because it is easy to access and use. Also, Quia gives the opportunity of having an online class which I think it is very important because we can use and get to know new technology available for teaching purposes.

Quia quizzes are really nice, they help me a lot because i have the chance to improve my grade and at the same time it helps me improve my learning skills because I read and read to give an answer. However, interaction in class is different because I can make as many questions as I can. It is more relaxing, too.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I am not against technology. Quia, as Fatima says is one of the best tools to take an online subject. easy to manage, accessible, etc. I use all the sources in here and I take advantage of them.

let me tell you that this kind of quiz have its advantage. that's true there is less pressure on students, when you take this kind of quiz, because you can tale it many times in order to feel comfortable until you have the grade you like. besides you cam learn many times while you are taking the quiz. sometimes we got angry because we dont find the correct answer but at the same time we enjoyed it.

it would be nice if teachers take advantage of this kind of tool, because even students will participate it is an interactive way to learn in a different way, through technology. we can participate many times as we want, we can take the test, we learn through educational links, but the best of all is that we dont have a pressure like paper pen test, class asssistantand other classroom stuffs. i like this class because of the lectures, the joyful way to take the class. but the most important is that the students take their own responsability of the class.

It is true when you say that most of the time teachers do not give the opportunity to take a quiz as many times as students can. If we have that opportunity to take the quiz many times we should do the best. Something that calls my attention is when students do not take the advantage.
ReplyDeleteI think that when we take the quiz as many times as possible we practice and learn more about the material we have read before. Also each time I take the quiz I learn something new it is really important and I like it.
Quia is an amazing tool for teachers.

I really like this online class, we have many advantages on Quia, as for example take the quiz the times we want and to get the score we want. Also we have the opportunity to express our ideas in the blog about the materials that we have read. In my own experience, I have learned a lot during this time, because when I'm reading the material I try to make a summary about the material, I identify the most important points. In that way, when taking the quiz is easier for me, and if I take the quiz more than once I learn more each time I take it... So, I wouldn't favor in-class quizzes, they are stressful..
