Qualtrics and D2L Can Help with Classroom Assessments

For decades, instructors have used Scantron for quizzes, exams and surveys. But new web-based technologies can save instructors the time and trouble of managing Scantron assessment, while offering more options such as question randomization and instant grading.

On Monday, September 21 at 3:00 p.m. in Old Main 119, Mark Gallimore will conduct a workshop introducing Qualtrics, a powerful but easy to use online survey application, ideal for a variety of survey or data collection projects.

On Friday, September 25 at 2:00 p.m. in Old Main 119, the workshop will demonstrate how faculty can build a quiz or exam using Desire2Learn’s on-board quizzes tool. D2L offers a variety of improvements over traditional paper-based assessments.

Sign up for either of these workshops here. Call Mark at Ext. 8353 for any questions about either Qualtrics or Desire2Learn.
