Creating Quizzes; Applying Restrictions - Alphasmart AS 3000 User Manual

Creating quizzes

Creating quizzes
You can use AlphaQuiz to create a quiz for almost any subject. For
example, you can design math quizzes with calculation or reasoning
questions, science quizzes with multiple choice or short answer
questions, and history and English quizzes with essay questions.
Quizzes or tests can be short or long, simple or complex, written for
any student who can use a keyboard—from grade school to high
school. You'll be able to reuse them for more than one class, revise
them for future use, share them with other teachers, and edit them
later or as you go along.
You create quizzes on your computer using QuizDesigner, part of the
AlphaQuiz system. Quizzes are stored in your computer until you
release them for student use. In the course of designing a quiz, you
have the option of defining a password to maintain test-taking
security within the classroom and from class to class.

Applying restrictions

As you create quizzes, you may want to put restrictions on how your
students use their AlphaSmart devices during the quiz. QuizDesigner
provides a number of ways to do this:
• You can prevent students from using the Calculator SmartApplet
during a quiz.
• You can prevent students from using the device's spell check
function during a quiz.
• You can require use of an access password and student
passwords to maintain test security and make sure that only
assigned students take the quiz.
