Creating Interactive Quizzes for a Course in Engineering Measurement and Data Analysis (ENSC-280)
Grant program: Teaching and Learning Development Grant (TLDG)
Grant recipient: Atousa Hajshirmohammadi, School of Engineering Science
Project team: Fabio Campi, Lecturer, School of Engineering Science, Maryam Dehghani Estarki, Ali Zari Ghanavati, Harneet Jhattu, YiNan Liu, Bikramdeep Singh, and Higgins Weng, research assistants
Timeframe: January 2015 to February 2018
Funding: $9,500
Course addressed: ENSC 280 鈥� Engineering Measurement and Data Analysis
Final Report: View Atousa Hajshirmohammadi's final report (PDF)
Interim Report: View Atousa Hajshirmohammadi's interim report (PDF)
Description: As a Senior Lecturer in ENSC, I teach large classes and this limits the amount of interaction I can have with individual students, which consequently can result in losing student engagement. I believe by delivering the course content in formats other than, and in addition to, the traditional lecture/textbook format, students' engagement can be encouraged.
The idea of this project was to create a set of interactive quizzes for students鈥� practice. The quizzes are in digital format and include practice problems on one or more concepts introduced in the course.The quizzes are interactive in the sense that once a student completes and submits the quiz, they can receive immediate feedback. For questions answered correctly, the student will see a message indicating that they are correct and they can also see the full solution. If the answer to a question is wrong, they will be asked to 鈥渢ry again鈥� and will be given a hint.
Questions addressed:
- What are the most difficult concepts to be covered by interactive quizzes?
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of the first version of our instructional tool?
Knowledge sharing: I plan to share my findings furthermore through venues such as Teaching Matter Seminar series. Within our own School (ENSC) I have talked to colleagues about this project in informal settings.
