Q. How do the on-line quizzes work? |

A. Exambuddy makes it easy to develop, administer, and grade on-line quizzes. Our suite also provides teachers the ability to track student results on on-line quizzes and surveys. You can set a custom mastery score for each on-line quiz you create. The results are provided with an item analysis that allows you to see how a class as a group or individuals scored on questions you created. This feature provides you with automatic feedback and allows you to revise your specific classroom instruction to meet the needs of the learners. See an example on-line quiz here: Basic Chemistry Quiz (Note: This demo does not include scoring and tracking. This feature is reserved for members.) |

Q. How do the electronic newsletters work? |

You can at anytime send a text-based email newsletter to all of the students, parents, and guardians of a particular class. You can also choose to send the email to select students only.
