Quizzes

Throughout my course I have found that online quizzes have been a very beneficial learning tool. They test what you know and ultimately what you don't know. This is where the learning takes place, you learn from your mistakes. In most online quizzes you are given a few chances to succeed in answering all questions correctly. This way you obviously know the answer you get correct when you first take the quiz, and the ones that you get incorrect are the areas that you need to work on.

According to Oliver (see image 2. below) Quizzes are both Learning Tasks and Learning Resources.
