Multiple choice questions (MCQs)
Using multiple choice questions can provide valuable formative feedback for students and can also be used effectively for summative assessment.
Introducing students to the use of multiple choice questions: case study
It is important to familiarise students with the multiple choice process and technology you are going to use. This case study by Dr Gareth Davies, Programme Leader MEd, Lews Castle College illustrates how students on the Introduction to Psychology module were given practice multiple choice questions as a piece of formative assessment to allow them to familiarise themselves with the process and the technology.
