What is a Quiz

Available to: Teachers and Admins

Quizzes are self-marking questions that can be built by teachers to create an interactive resource for gauging student performance. Quizzes are used to test student(s) knowledge of a subject or unit – they can be used as end of topic and/or monthly tests/exams, giving you the ability to diagnose student(s) strengths and weaknesses from the student scores captured and displayed in the Data Viewer or Markbook applications. 

Accessing Quizzes

To access a quiz, click on the quick launch icon and select the "Quizzes" application.

This will Open "Frogdrive" and you will be automatically diverted to the "Quizzes" section which will have several sub-category's where Quizzes can be found:

• My Quizzes: Displays all the quizzes that you have created.
• School Quizzes: Displays quizzes that others have created in your school.
  
• FrogPlay Quizzes: Displays quizzes that have been created by Frog. 
• Community Quizzes: Displays quizzes that other schools have created and shared.
