What is it about?

●  QuizBox provides a simple easy tool to make quizzes of multiple choice.

●  It also provides a simple result for test takers to check their score.

Why is the content good for language learning?

●  It is a simple tool for teachers to make quizzes to check students' understanding

    of the language aspects taught in class.

●  The test takers simply click on the buttons to finish the test and get the score at once.

●  The test takers can take the quiz as many times as they like.  And the paper-free

    quizzes save lots of time and money.

●  The collected embedded quizzes (in the blog) offer students the chances to review

    the lessons or the tests.  They could always try them online anytime, any place.

How might you use it in a language teaching context?

●  Teachers can make the quizzes in advance according to the topics, curriculum.

    And after each class, students can take the quiz (5-10 questions) in a short time for

    the teacher to check their understanding.

●  Since there is only one type of quiz (multiple choice), teachers can make quizzes like

    grammar check, vocabulary, or the content of the text.   

●  The teachers can explain each question in class after students take the quizzes, and 

     later put the explanation for each answer on the blog .  Students are encouraged to take 

     the quizzes later again.

●  Teachers can share the quizzes with other teachers, and they can be a collection 

    of tests.

Limitations~

  

●  Need sufficient computers for students to take quizzes in class or at home.

●  Though the tool is simple, the function is simple, too.  The quizzes you make

    won't be stored in their website, therefore, teachers had better embed the quizzes

    in their blogs right after the quizzes are created.
 
●  The tool does not include "explanation function" like Proprofs does, therefore, 

    in addition to  explaining the answers of each test in class, teachers should also

    provide explanation in their blogs.

●  Students' scores can not be recorded. 

●  Only quizzes of multiple choice can be make.  No videos or pictures can be used. 

●  It may take teachers lots of time to design valid and reliable quizzes.  And the 

    teachers should make sure the tests (and answers) are carefully made in case

    of washback (e.g. students become frustrated when their answer is correct but 

    it shows wrong answer).
