Introduction
I teach an Emergency Medical Technician training class. I average about 80 students in lecture classes. I have been using Qwizdom for several years now. I use the Qwizdom remote devices in multiple ways to facilitate the learning environment of the program.
Needs & Challenges
‒ Simulate Testing and Instant Grading
I chose to get Qwizdom for two reasons. The first was to simulate the test-taking environment in which the students will be taking their national certifying exams, and the second was to decrease time grading exams and quizzes and entering grades into my grade book.
Solution
Qwizdom provides me with significant data on the progress of the students during and after exams. I can see how they are progressing during the exams and how they are doing. After the exam, I can identify bad questions, I can identify weak areas in the class learning. This allows me to repeat information in a different way to get critical concepts across to the students. This data base will also provide me the opportunity to sit down with individual students. This allows me more time to work with the students and provide them with valuable learning strategies.
