Describe your experience taking the online test.
For this week tutorial, our lecturer had asked us to make online quizzes according to different levels. It is undeniable that taking an online quiz might be a little bit challengeable but I found it quite interesting. This is because I think that the online quiz help me to remember some important points that I need to know or based on my general knowledge. However, I found out that some questions are quite difficult. As I am moving from the basic to the immediate level, the questions are getting more difficult and tough. However, I found the online quiz interesting and it is encouraged to perform online quiz in different subjects because the modern technology has play an important role in these days.
However, in the last quizzes I had taken during the tutorial. I found out that the online quizzes don’t show the answer or explanations to the particular questions especially to the one I had answered it wrong. It would be better if I am able to learn from my mistake and through further explanations; it also helps me to learn more effectively. Maybe, the online quizzes should improve in this area, it would be better if the students are able to learn from their mistake rather they try the questions for a few time without knowing that whether they had answer the right question.
In addition, I also face some problem when I am taking the online quizzes. This may be due to the slower server and internet line problems as the webpage seems cannot be displayed before I manage to finish the online quiz. Maybe this is not a big deal as all of us can try to do the online quiz again but I think that if the webpage or the server keeps break down, it is a waste of time because we have to consume most of our time in front of the screen. Of course we cannot blame that it is the server or our computer’s problem because we as human also make mistake in our lives.
In short, I think that it is encourage taking online quizzes for students from different levels apart from university students. This is because the students are able to learn a lot by using the alternative learning tools. However, I hope that improvements in certain areas of the online quizzes can be perform such as the explanations for the question and the improvement for the internet server so that all students are able to take their online quizzes beneficially and the most important, they could learn through the online quizzes.
Make sure you discuss the ability of the test to provide immediate feedback, randomization, security features as presented in lecture.
Immediate Feedback
As I had mention earlier, I think that the online quizzes don’t gives us the immediate feedback effectively, however, it may gives us the immediate result for the quizzes as it don’t involve paper work and all the test are evaluated by the computers, so we are able to get the immediate results after we take the online quizzes so we are able to know our ability and knowledge in certain areas.
However, I think that the immediate feedback that the online quizzes are too general as it does not prove our real ability. For example, the online quizzes may be useful when it is used for academic purpose where students are able to know whether they had mastered certain skills. However, when it goes to the psychology area where the candidate had to answer certain question, the feedback of the online quizzes may not be as accurate and right because the computers are unable to understand human’s thought. It would be better if there are professionals to help the patients in solving their problems and given proper advice to their patients in needs.
Randomization.
Randomize means to use a method in an experiment, a piece of research, etc that gives every item an equal chance of being considered; to put things in a RANDOM order. Online quiz may be a very easy yet an effective way to perform a survey or research. As we know, people now are lazy to dot down the survey list as it waste time. Apart from that, the use of paper work also needs human energy to evaluate or analyze the final work and it takes time to analyze the large amounts of surveys that had been taken. By using the online quiz, the computers are able to analyze all the task or survey taken in a short period. Apart from that, the computer are also able to organize all the same answers and information in a short period and give immediate feedback so that the online quiz users no need to wait for a long time for the result of the quiz.
Apart from that, the online quiz is also a very useful tool to do on survey especially the survey covers a large amount of people where we do not need to gather all the people together and perform a survey. By using the online quizzes, all the people need is surf into the particular website and take the quizzes in anytime and anywhere whenever there are computers and internet services. The online quizzes make the life easier where we save a lot of time in organizing and taking the quiz. Besides that, it also save a lot of space and energy as we no longer need people to give out the survey list in order to get respond from the public and no big places required to perform a survey. It is so easy and convenience.
One of the examples of survey taken in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia might be the personal and attitude quiz which must be taken by the fresh graduates when they enter university. All the students need is just to take the quiz on the internet and they get immediate feedback on the quiz they have take with results in minutes. Besides, there are chart to show the result as well which make the quiz so easy and it saves time too.
Security Features.
The online quiz is so easy and it is safe too. The users do not need to worry about their privacy because the online quiz performed are private and confidential where all the users are require to type in their password in order to enter or get result of the online quiz. The online quiz is so easy that we do not need people to collect all the quizzes done in paper work. Besides that, the online quizzes are so accurate and fast that you ever miss a chance to miss a question in the quizzes and it so secure that you don’t need to worry that your answers will be lost or being corrected by other users because the answers are sent straight towards the server and evaluation will be made as soon as possible that you receive the correct results and answers in minutes.
Life is so convenient with online quizzes. However, we have to be aware so that we do not give our password to the others as they are able to perform something which is illegal and against the law by using your username and account. The security feature might be very tight in the world of technology but sometimes human negligence may lead to disaster as well. So, it is advice to keep your username and password secure, don’t simply let a stranger to know your username and password!!!
In short, it is our responsibilities to make use of the modern technology in effective and beneficial way. Please don’t misuse of the modern technology… In other words, it means that we should be an intelligent and ethic user.
Hi Sim,
Your score on the uji ict test was ok – 22/30. FYI, the purpose of the online test is whether you know certain basic information in ICT and what the terminology means. That’s why there’s no explanation given when you answer certain questions wrong.
I do agree with you that the online assessment is becoming the mainstream in education especially in the online environment.
