This is an interactive PowerPoint 2003 presentation designed to test knowledge of the History of the Gunpowder Plot. It runs as a slideshow and has interactivity via a text box on each slide. Each slide has a question to answer and a picture clue. The user types in their guess via the text box (similar to Cloze) and gets immediate feedback via the box or font changing colour. It was designed in PowerPoint 2003 and uses macros so they need to be enabled for it to work. It may work in other PowerPoint versions - please test before use with a group!

An interactive Microsoft Word file designed to help learners identify some of the popular UK tourist destinations. Users need to 'Enable content' (macros) when the document loads to enable them to mark their work - they drag the destination names into the appropriate boxes around the map of the UK and click the 'Mark Answers' button to find out how many they got correct. They can repeat the process of dragging and dropping until all 20 destinations are in their correct boxes. It was created in Microsoft Word 2013 but may work in earlier versions but will not work on Macintosh versions of Word because they do not support macros

20 and 30 question interactive Jeopardy style templates (please note macros need to be enabled) . You should be able to add your own questions and customise fonts/colours etc to meet your needs. When running there is the option to return to the question selection slide if the incorrect question was selected (virtually invisible black square at the top right of the slide). There is also the option to modify scores if points are to be shared or bonus points are to be awarded - click on the score of the team and type in the new points value. A sample (but dated) maths quiz is included to demonstrate what a finished quiz looks like. Sadly these will only work on PC versions of PowerPoint with macros enabled. For people studying programming the code is written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), is unprotected and contains some comments. Any constructive feedback would be appreciated and if you use the template/s please post link/s in your review. Thanks Roger

This is an interactive PowerPoint template that allows people to create reveal quizzes with scoring - it uses macros and so sadly will only work on PCs and they need to be enabled when the PowerPoint is run. A sample quiz of famous landmarks is included to demonstrate how it works. When using the template add pictures to the PowerPoint slides and then cover these pictures with autoshapes (rectangles, ovals, stars etc) and for each covering shape type on a points value - the more important what the shape covers the higher the number of points. Instructions are given on slide 3 too. This is the first version of this template so please send me constructive feedback, including ways it can be enhanced.
