Abstract:

This is the third of three contributed presentations on electronic assessment systems for introductory applied statistics courses. This presentation offers an overview of principles we have adopted to facilitate designing, building, and using electronic quizzes. These principles have evolved from our attempts to satisfy the goals of the instructors, the complaints of the students, and difficulties present in both the creation and the usage environments. The presentation concludes by discussing guidelines for others based on our experience.
