  • 10. SOCRATIVE

    Socrative is a classroom app for fun, effective classroom engagement. Socrative allows you to instantly connect with students as learning happens. Quickly assess students with prepared activities or on-the-fly questions to get immediate insight into student understanding. Then use auto-populated results to determine the best instructional approach to most effectively drive learning. No registration is required for taking part in the survey. Here's Socrative User Guide with all the details and information on how to use this tool for evaluation purposes.

    9. GO FORMATIVE

    8. LEARNING APPS

    Learning Apps  is a Web 2.0 application, to support learning and teaching processes with small interactive modules. Those modules can be used directly in learning materials, but also for self studying. The aim is to collect reusable building blocks and make them available to everyone. Blocks (called Apps) include no specific framework or a specific learning scenario. The blocks are therefore not suitable as complete lessons or tasks, instead they must be embedded in an appropriate teaching scenario. Watch this Tutorial to learn more about it.

    7. GOOGLE FORMS

    Google Forms is one of the Google Drive applications. It is used to create surveys and get instant results. All the results can be displayed as different types of charts. No registration is required for taking part in the survey.

    6. STICKY MOOSE

    Sticky Moose is a very simple tool for creating surveys.  No registration is required for students. What's more, teachers don't need to register either. If teachers want to edit the survey, the only thing they need to do is to type in their email address. Students can join just by typing their name. If they want to come back later, it's enough to write their name again.

    5. TYPEFORM

    Typeform is a simple and userf-friendly tool for creating different types of surveys, forms , quizzes and disucssions.  It is very easy to create a survey or a quiz, because it works on the drag and drop principle. We can change colour, font and add videos and images. There is also a paid version, but the options that are offered in the free version are sufficient for a project. The only constraint is that only up to 100 answers can be evaluated per month. Here is an example Typeform about our project. Make sure that you take the survey. You can also click on the Launch button below.

    3. QUIZIZZ

    Quizizz is very similar to Kahoot. It is a game-based learning response system. It can be used to create multiple choice quizzes. Unlike Kahoot, where the question and the answers are displayed on the main screen, while students' screens show only  answers A-C in 4 different colours, on Quizzez, students can see the question and answers. Quizziz is self-paced, so students don't have to wait for the teacher to start a new question. It can also be done at home. Here's an infographic that show the differences between Kahoot and Quizizz.

    2. KAHOOT

    Kahoot is a "game-based classroom response system and educational platform for creating quizzes, surveys and disucssions. With a refreshingly new take on introducing new content and formative asssessment, Kahoot initiates peer-led disucssions, wth students left on the edge of their seats." Students join the quiz by typing in a pin number that is automatically generated for each quiz. They need to have a mobile device or they can play on their computers individually or in teams.  Find out more about Kahoot in the tutorial  Get Started with Kahoot!.
