Going Digital with Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
This module will explore the design, creation, customisation, sharing and delivery of digital multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Digital multiple-choice questions have the flexibility of being suitable for use in face-to-face, blended and remote learning environments and can be designed for specific learning purposes.
Module Learning Objectives
This module will encourage teachers to engage in self-reflection around the following questions:
How can I use MCQs to support and improve pupil learning?
What does a ‘good’ MCQ look like?
Why should I create digital MCQs?
How can I develop my existing capacity and resources to further my practice moving forward?
How will I monitor and evaluate the impact of my practice on pupils?
This module is organised into five sessions. Each session will take between 1 – 2 hours to work through. Although, you may wish to take some additional time to engage with some of the associated activities and resources. Each module requires participants to watch a video; however each video is complemented by a range of additional resources to increase the users flexibility with regards how they interact with or use the materials. Each video will be available as a narrated PowerPoint, which can be downloaded along with an accompanying transcript. Each session will also have supplementary resources ranging from recommended reading, shorter support video clips and self-evaluation tools to case studies.
