Abstract
Distance learning educators include self-assessment formative quizzes into the curriculum to enhance students’ learning experiences. Online quizzes are a useful learning tool, particularly when courses are delivered online, thanks to technical advancements in web-based delivery. The greatest aspect of offering online quizzes is that the correct answer and any suitable comments are offered to students instantly after they complete a question. The present study evaluates students’ overall performance in one of the core courses, in which self-assessment quizzes were administered through the e-learning system in order to reflect their learning behaviour towards the coursework. As part of formative assessment, it was noted that students’ frequent efforts aggregated during the final exam session; yet, as soon as the quizzes were made available, a few students took them. The data demonstrated a substantial link between students who took the quizzes and their overall achievement as measured by final grades. This paper delves through the essential factors to consider when developing well-crafted quizzes for technical courses and so maximising their potential as an effective learning tool.
