I've been using kahoot recently (and @elichad mentioned sli.do in the same space) for "check your knowledge" type quizzes that help me, as a teacher, identify
easy topics they know well
difficult points
strong/weak students
So let's integrate something like this into the GTN because making the kahoots is not a pleasant process even if their UX is really really good. We can sacrifice some UX for:
deep integration into the GTN
quizzes stored in version control
I'm working on an implementation of this with PeerJS. They have a public server we can use, which means we only need to implement some javascript and everything should just work.
Quiz Yaml
I'm envisioning a structure like the following where we have a set of questions stored in structured data.
- answers:
- bwa
- spades
- prokka
- the netherlandscorrect: the netherlandstimeout: 30# How long students have to answertitle: NOT a bioinformatics tooltype: choose-1
Via a 'main' interface these can be loaded dynamically from the GTN's api, or, in specific places we can specify specific quizzes.
with the following question types:
choose-1, the classic
choose-many, choose as many as apply, allowing partial credit.
true/false (really a sub-case of choose-1)
anonymous poll
"fastcups" (a sub-case of the anonymous poll)
The anonymous poll would let you get instantaneous feedback on a topic (maybe pre-defined, maybe customiseable at runtime) and cover the sli.do usecase mentioned above, where @elichad wanted live polls directly in slide decks. We could achieve that directly in GTN slide decks.
UX
The UX will be very similar to kahoot:
A 'teacher' starts the interaction, and a URL is generated.
This is shared to students
who automatically join the session
Teacher advances the quiz slide by slide
Students get the question pushed to them, and can click an answer.
Teacher gets a leaderboard at the end. Maybe it's not as fancy and dramatic as kahoot's is, but, I think that's ok.
(maybe we have a code they can enter, too, we'll see, depends on how it works out.)
Self-study mode
However it's not always appropriate for a teacher to be leading the interaction, that really only applies to asynchronous interactions. We can leverage the same system and have a "self-study mode" whereby the student progresses from question to question on their own (not initiating a peerjs session), and upon selecting an answer is shown the correct answer immediately. This should be a trivial extension of the system as I'm currently working on it.
