What is online testing software HmmQuiz?
HmmQuiz, as modern online testing software, is a web application that was built with cutting-edge technologies to help you prepare computer-based tests and quizzes quicker and better.
With this solution you can easily use many different testing scenarios in your organization.
For example, defining when and how to start exams may be one of the most burdensome aspects of administering online assessments.
In HmmQuiz you have several simple options to solve this problem without unnecessary complications.
One of the available choices would be to simultaneously start testing for all quiz takers included into a specific group (a class). It will give you more control over your assessment administration schedule. Therefore, it will make it easier for instructors to manage this process, without ending up with endless row of open browser tabs.
This way of organizing testing gives consistency to the process, because everyone in the group is tested in similar conditions. It also minimizes the risk of cheating, by requiring each student’s active participation in their own assessment.
To achieve this effect, it’s important to define the appropriate time limit for your timed quiz, so that it’s not too small to complete the test at the normal pace, but also not too big to offer many students redundant time that could be used by some of them to help others with their exams.
After the test, you can get statistics for all questions used in it. It will help an instructor determine where they need improvements in their teaching. It also provides them with valuable information about which topics are understood by their class worse than expected.
To make such analysis more effective, in the interface with all the questions you can click on each column title, such as “Correct”, “Partially correct”, and “Wrong”. This action will sort all questions in an exam result, according to the number of answers that fit the respective criteria.
Advantages of using an online testing service
- You can export to a CSV file main information about a test you administered with an online testing service HmmQuiz. With this feature, the test result details can be saved and later accessed at any time, even when you’re not online. Exporting results to a CSV file is also helpful because it’s less time-consuming than copying and pasting this data manually. Otherwise it would require a lot more effort if you need to input this information into some internal system used in your organization.
Additionally, exporting test results makes it easier for teachers to analyze students’ performance throughout the entire course, rather than on one specific test. With results exported to a text file, it’s much easier to process, combine, and aggregate such data in your custom way, to go beyond the limits of the standard reports that an online testing service can provide.
A customizable HmmQuiz log-in page for your students will help your business have its own look and feel in an additional place of its online presence. You can do this by adding your logo and setting up a unique log-in page address, such as https://app.hmmquiz.com/login/organization-name.
After you scheduled an exam for your test takers, you can send all of them a notification (via email) about this test, and you can do it without leaving your HmmQuiz account. There will be no need for you to prepare and send such messages for each of your students manually, since HmmQuiz will do it for you. The message will be automatically personalized for each quiz taker, according to the data from their HmmQuiz profile.
HmmQuiz can automate administration of student accounts, making it easier for teachers to manage their students. As a result, many hours can be saved compared to manual student management. There will also be less room for errors to be made when entering information into software systems. Finally, this system enables easier collaboration among instructors, by providing different teachers from the same organization with access to the same classrooms, tests, and students.
Online testing software for teachers
Teachers are usually looking for online testing software that would allow them to prepare exams using various question types, in addition to typical MCQ or True or False questions.
In HmmQuiz you can find five more question formats besides these two. One of them is Multiple response question type.
By adding multiple response questions, an instructor can reduce the number of separate multiple choice questions they would need to create for a test, since this question format allows students to select several correct answers to one question.
Another advantage of this type of questions is that it’s suitable for much broader spectrum of subjects and topics, as it doesn’t require an educator to narrow everything down to only a single element to build each question around.
Therefore, multiple response questions can measure other aspects of student’s knowledge compared to multiple choice questions. They can be more effective for holistic assessment of the student’s understanding of a given subject.
Such questions in online testing also give students better opportunity to demonstrate competency through multiple responses, thus giving teachers more insights about how their students understood the course content.
Grade tests manually when you need to override the grade calculated automatically
Another feature that must be present in online testing software for teachers is the one that makes it possible to grade any exam manually, regardless the mark automatically assigned by testing software.
It can be especially useful if your tests include fill in the blank questions, where there’s always a possibility that a student enters the correct answer you didn’t think of in advance.
In this case a computerized testing system will inevitably mark a question as answered incorrectly, but with manual grading tools in HmmQuiz an educator can always override it with a different mark.
To minimize the number of answers requiring manual grading, use the “Ignore letter case” feature in tests with fill in the blank questions. Without this feature enabled, “Testing Software” and “testing software” would be seen by an automatic grader as two completely different pairs of words. So, if this is not the behavior you’d like to have, ignoring the case of letters should be enabled in a question settings.
