After attempting a question and seeing the answers/validations, quiz takers are asked to rate the question on a Likert scale. The average value is recorded and associated with the question on the instructor’s dashboard. This is a measure of the students’ perception of the value of the question can could also be considered a ‘fairness’ rating. Secondly, as students take quizzes a point biserial score is calculated for each question. This rating is a measure of question quality and its discrimination value. We use these two factors to find good questions for use on formal exams. Knowing that some student authored questions will appear on exams seems to promote engagement by students.
