I was really interested in the electronic quiz concept we talked about in class this week. My only concern with the Excel quiz was that the student's answer has to match the answer the teacher enters exactly. This could create a problem if the spelling, punctuation or format is slightly different, or for example the student answers USA instead of United States. Even math problems could be problematic (no pun intended!) if the format isn't quite the same. I'm thinking about ways to get around this problem, such as pre-formatting cells for numbers, or using multiple choice questions where the student would only have to enter a single letter or number in the answer field.
It's definitely an option I'd like to use in my classroom if possible, so I'll definitely work on ways to make it as fool-proof as possible!
