Today, not a single teacher can do without tests, be it a school teacher or a professor of a multi-thousand online course. Selecting an option from several is not the only option: you can insert pictures and videos into surveys, change task formats almost indefinitely. Edutainme has selected seven services that will facilitate the preparation and conduct of testing.

Proprofs

Proprofs prepares tests for every taste - you can offer one or more options to choose from, ask to fill in the missing word or write a detailed answer. The service allows you to insert into tasks text documents and presentations, PDF files, as well as images, audio and video files.

ClassMarker

In ClassMarker you can make surveys with different answer formats - in addition to the usual options, there is even an essay.

Decide on the topic of the test, write questions and answers. Please note:

The best option: a combination of entertaining and educational content
The most popular topic for tests - “you”. Use personification

Testing - main tool to test knowledge in distance learning. However, when developing a test, questions often arise:

how many tasks do you need to come up with;
what types of questions to choose;
what passing score to set;
is branching necessary?
how much time to allocate for testing and also the car “how”, “why”, “why”.

In this article, the founder of the New York e-course development studio, Alexander Vinogradov, will analyze in detail how to make a high-quality online test in the iSpring Suite editor in order to conduct a thorough “diagnosis” of employee knowledge.

Step 1: Determine the test type

Working on a test is very similar to developing an e-course. The starting point is the same - set a goal.

What do you want to achieve by creating a test? Having answered the question, it is easier to decide on the type of practical task.

Based on their objectives, tests in the electronic course are divided into two types:

Educational - help to consolidate the material learned. Typically, such a test is given after each chapter in the course as a little practice. Greenhouse conditions: no time limit, no penalties for the wrong answer. Several attempts are given to solve the problem, after each error an explanation is given as to why the answer is incorrect.
Certification - help to “scan” the employee’s knowledge. Prerequisites: time limits, one attempt per answer, no explanation for each error. The test shows whether the course managed to hit the mark - what you actually taught your employees.

Step 2: Select Question Types

Typically, when creating tests in iSpring Suite, an arsenal of 11 assessment questions is used:

- The user must determine whether the statement in the question is true or false. This is the simplest version of the task.

— the user needs to choose one correct answer from the proposed options.

— you need to select the correct options from the list. Tasks of this type are more difficult than “Single Choice”, because the number of correct answers is unknown in advance. It’s not possible to answer at random.

- there is no choice here, the user needs to enter the correct answer in the text field. To avoid mistakes, it is important to have a good understanding of the topic.

Subsequence— the user is asked to arrange elements in the correct sequence. This type of question is suitable if you need to restore the chronology of events, arrange numbers in ascending/descending order.

— you need to enter a number in the answer field. There are no prompts here, just like in the “Input String” question type. It is impossible to guess the correct answer.

— the test taker is asked to select the correct option from a drop-down list.

— you need to insert words from the word bank to fill the gaps in the text. This is a question type similar to Nested Answers.

- you need to fill in the gaps found in the text. This is a more advanced version of Nested Answers and Word Bank. This type of question is suitable if you need to check, for example, how well an employee has memorized a certain rule.

— you need to connect pairs of words, phrases or images. Add a few extra matching options to complicate the question.

The optimal task contains from 4 to 10 conditions. Correspondences can be made between: concepts and definitions, text and images, list of authors and citations, dates and events.

— the employee must mark areas in the image using markers. If you get creative with your work, you can come up with something interesting. practical task. For example, this:

For the test to be as accurate and truthful as possible, it must follow the 30/40/30 rule.

In this situation, employees will not have to rely on intuition and luck.

Step 3. Think over the text of the questions

The effectiveness of the test largely depends on how well the tasks are formulated. Don’t forget that the employee taking the exam is alone with the test material. If he does not understand the question, there is no one to consult with - he will have to answer at random. And this is already a minus to the objectivity of the final result. Therefore, it is important to carefully work through each task. Here are some recommendations:

Keep it simple. The question should be simple and clear. Try not to write long complex sentences with adverbial phrases. Maximum quantity words: 20.

Avoid repetitions and double negatives like “not/not.” Example: « Paint program is not a program for working with spreadsheets. Answer options: Yes-No". It is difficult to understand what they want from you: both the task and the answer contain denial.

Use acid to burn inaccurate facts, figures and words like “approximately”, “somewhat”, “at least”. “What is the approximate value of the constant Pi?”. Well, approximately three. A stupid question generates stupid answers.

Start open-ended questions with words: “what”, “how much”, “when”, “for what”, “how”, “why”.

Avoid involuntary hints when the text of the question leads to the correct answer.

Step 4. Work through answer options for each task.

At this stage, for each formulated question, you need to select plausible distractors - answer options designed to confuse and divert attention. What to pay attention to:

Use simple wording without complex phrases.

Correct answers and distractors must match in content, structure and total number of words.

Avoid using “none of the above” and “all of the above” answer options, especially for Single Choice question types.

For “Gap” questions, avoid options where you can make a mistake: “Moscow” and “Moscow”, “Carroll” and “Carroll”. After all, if an employee writes the right word, but don’t stand there with a letter, the test won’t count it. The final assessment will be biased.

Step 5. Consider testing parameters

Test settings depend on the purpose: to train or arrange a tough exam.

Setting up points

When creating a test, the question often arises - what passing score to set. There is no universal recipe. Start from the goal.

For example, you are putting together a training test on the basics of time management for salespeople. The goal is for employees to consolidate the material they have learned and remember what they have already forgotten. The passing score here can be set at 70-80.

If you check and certify doctors on the topic “Anatomy nervous system", then here you can put all 100 points for passing. Indeed, in reality, every mistake made by a doctor can cost a person his life.

You can read more about how to set points for correct answers and penalties for incorrect answers.

What type of test to use: training and certification.

Random selection of questions

The optimal length of the test is 25-30 questions. But it’s better to do what is called “with a reserve” - the total bank of tasks should be 3-4 times larger. For example, we include a pool of 75 questions in the test, and employees random order they get only 25-30. As a result, each user's test differs in content - it will be difficult to copy it from a friend.

How to make a random selection of questions from a common bank in the iSpring Suite test, watch in a short video tutorial.

Time limit

To prevent employees from cheating, also set a time limit for taking the test. I usually allocate from 10 minutes to half an hour for tasks - it all depends on the complexity of the test.

If an employee is completely new to the topic, then no cheat sheets will help him answer all the questions correctly and meet the deadline.

In iSpring Suite, you can limit the time to complete the entire test or individual questions:

Number of attempts

If you want to conduct the most accurate “diagnosis” of employee knowledge, enter one attempt per answer - then it will be difficult to solve the task at random. You can do this in a few clicks:

Branching

If you are creating a training test, it is important to set up branching. This will help employees fill knowledge gaps and better understand the material they have learned.

The bottom line: when the user makes a mistake, he ends up on a slide with additional information on the topic of the question. If he answers correctly, he moves on to the next task. How to set up branching, see here:

Feedback

Remember the tests at school or college. After the check, the teacher handed out notebooks with incorrect answers crossed out in red paste. I often wanted to ask: “Why is this wrong?”

In distance learning, the same thing happens, but the teacher is not nearby. And yet electronic test can automatically provide feedback on every incorrect question, as in this example:

Thanks to this approach, it is easier for the test taker to understand what is wrong in his answer and which option is correct. It will take a couple of minutes to set up feedback in iSpring Suite:

Step 6. Voice and format the questions

Employees are not always willing to take the test. This is usually one of the most frustrating parts of an eLearning course. To sweeten the bitter pill, work on the design of the test or come up with interesting interactive tasks.

Question design

Each test question can be designed with a unique design: customize the font, layout, or choose a color theme for the question.

Voiceover of questions

You can add an audio file to each question in the test or record audio directly in iSpring Suite, and then edit it using the built-in editor:

With the right approach, you can come up with interesting interactive tasks that will further ignite the curiosity of employees.

You can read a detailed guide on working with tests in iSpring Suite.

When to run tests

Here is the course of the Yord company - “Tactical Management”. He teaches managers how to properly work with subordinates.

The course of 120 files is divided into four large lessons. Each contains: cases, instructions, work tips. After each section there is a short test of 7-10 questions. This helps the employee remember the important things more clearly.

Now imagine that there are no intermediate tests. You flip through the slides one after another, the information noise in your head increases and, when it reaches its limit, bam - a test of 100 questions on all topics. Unpleasant surprise.

Based on the results of the course. There must be a final test in every course. Otherwise, how will you measure the benefits of e-training?

Based on the results of the training program, that is, a set of courses on global theme. This is a kind of analogue of post-training. The results will show how well the employee applies the acquired knowledge in practice.

As part of general certification. The test shows the residual knowledge of employees. For these purposes, you can use the course final test or create a new one.

Tests in numbers

More than 80% of foreign companies Tests are used to evaluate applicants and employees.

69% of Russian companies tests help in hiring staff. Others use them to evaluate the qualifications of current employees.

$500 million— volume of the testing market in Russian and foreign companies. The market consists mainly of the services of external recruiters, who select employees for customers using tests, and companies that create these tests. Among them are Multi-Health Systems, Captevrix, Hogan Development Survey.

Tests are the most popular format for assessing a person’s knowledge and skills in modern world. Marking the correct answers on a piece of paper is a great way for the teacher to check the student. But how to provide the opportunity to take the test remotely? Online services will help you implement this.

There are many resources that allow you to generate online surveys of varying complexity. There are also similar services for creating quizzes and all kinds of tests. Some immediately give the result, others simply send answers to the author of the task. We, in turn, will become familiar with resources that offer both.
