QuizTime: is a platform where you can create courses, deliver questions to learners, collect responses, and run reports.
Course: is a collection of quizzes with different settings like schedule, goals, syllabus, handouts, custom enrollment form, etc. There are two types of courses in QuizTime: On-Demand and Instructor-Led.
Learner: a user enrolled in a course to receive and answer questions.
On-Demand Course: for On-Demand courses learners start to receive questions after enrollment (later that day or the following day depends on the delivery hour selected by the learner at enrollment). Each learner has a different course schedule (depends on the learner’s enrollment date), and the learner will receive one question per day. The course administrator can set the enrollment start and end date/time, but the enrollment will not be opened until the course is published. No changes can be made to a published, on-demand course with enrolled learners. On-demand courses provide adaptive learning feature that allows learners to re-attempt questions with incorrect answers.
Instructor-Led Course: for Instructor-Led courses administrators set the delivery date/time of each question, therefore, each question will be sent to all learners at the same time. Learners can enroll in the course during the enrollment start and end date/time even before the course is published.
Adaptive Scheduling: the adaptive scheduling feature allows the learner to re-attempt answering a question that he/she has answered incorrectly. This feature is only available for on-demand courses, and it can be turned on or off. There are two options for adaptive scheduling: spaced repetition and re-take question immediately. The Spaced repetition is using an algorithm to re-send the question later during the course, the question can be re-sent up to two times. While the re-take question immediately option allows the learner to re-attempt answering the question only once, immediately after the first incorrect response.
Questions Expiration: the course administrator can set when the course questions are expired. Learners cannot submit an answer for expired questions. There are three options for question expiration: one day, one week, and one day after the end of course. The course administrator can select whether to send expiration messages, to learners who did not answer the question, if questions are set to expire in one day or one week.
Enrollment Form: is used to collect additional information from the learners at enrollment. The form is created by the course administrator and can be saved to the Form Library to be used with other courses.
Self-Enrollment Schedule: learners can enroll in the course within the Self-Enrollment Schedule Start Date/Time and End Date/Time set by the course administrator.
Quiz: is a collection of questions. The system provides seven question types: multiple choice, Multiple Select, True or False, Poll, Announcement, Open Text, and Likert Scale.
Delivered Question: the question is marked as delivered after the question is sent to the learner’s email or cellphone, based on the learner’s selected delivery method at enrollment.
Opened Question: the question is marked as opened after the learner opens the question received an email or SMS.
Answered Question: the question is marked as answered after the learner submits an answer for the question.
Expired Question: the question is marked as expired if the learner did not submit an answer before the question expired. The question expiration period is set by the course administrator.
Course Co-Owners: the Co-Owners have the same access and administrative rights of the course creator, they can edit, delete, publish, etc.
Course Directors: course directors have access to the course after it’s published. They can view dashboards and run reports, but they cannot make any changes.
Published Course: after the course is published, the course became live and visible on the marketing page, and learners can start enrolling and receiving questions.
Un-Published Course: when the course is unpublished it will be in the edit mode, so no questions will be sent to the learners until the course is published and on-demand courses will disappear from the marketing page as long as the course remains unpublished. Course administrator can make changes to un-published courses only.
Course Marketing Page: it can be accessed from the course catalog in the learner portal. It includes the course information that learners need to know as the course start and end dates, enrollment start and end dates, course overview, course directors, learning objectives, credit information, target audience, pre-requisites, syllabus, and handouts.
Course Dashboard: displays the results of each learner, in addition, it displays the learner’s contact and the date of the last question answered.
Quiz Dashboard: displays the results of each question using different charts to show responses percentage for each answer.
Quiz Leaderboard: displays the results for each learner in numbers.
Question Bank: it’s a set of questions added by educators and organized in folders. The questions in the bank can be used with any quiz in any of your courses. You can share your question bank with other educators.
Form Library: stores enrollment forms, added by educators, that can be used with any of your courses to collect additional information about the learners.
