Assessment with closed question types in TestVision
Monday 2 March 2020, 09.30 – 12.30
TestVision offers many question types for closed questions other than the traditional open and/or multiple-choice question. However, teaching staff often find it difficult to make use of these different question types. In this training we show you, based on examples, how you can improve the quality of your assessment questions by choosing the types that better match your learning objectives. This is a hands-on workshop, specifically aimed at learning how to use the question types in TestVision effectively.
