Distance Learning or Remote Learning Quiz KS3

A fantastic end-of-year or back to school activity but really the ideal any-time vehicle to promote community and communication between teachers and students and which also introduces that important element of healthy competition - so often missing in distance learning. The competition can be run for individual classes or across several classes and offering a prize and running a “coming to your computer soon” campaign for a few days before fires interest and enthusiasm.

How it Works

• The design of this fully - animated quiz is unique and is specifically tailored to quizzing at a distance.
• Students complete the quiz which automatically records the score and the time taken.
• They then take a screenshot or photograph of their final score or time and email it to their teacher.
• The winner is the student with the highest score and in the event of a tie, the student with the lowest time wins.
• The time penalties for each question mean that those pupils who have cheated and looked up the answers online are unlikely to win.
• On selecting a wrong answer, the student is immediately provided with the correct answer.
