Showcase

Gary Velan

Questionmark Perception has been used for the creation, delivery and analysis of online formative and summative assessments in Medicine and Medical Science for more than a decade. In the UNSW Medicine Program, online formative assessments using Questionmark Perception have had a significant impact on learning by junior medical students and online summative assessments in have facilitated a rapid turnaround in results, as well as in-depth analysis of items. Although other tools exist with their own advantages and disadvantages, such as in-built quiz tools in Moodle, Respondus and ExamSoft, Questionmark Perception is consistently chosen over these tools as it is the premier tool dedicated to online assessment. An important feature of Questionmark Perception is that all items and resultant data comply with the international Question and Test Interoperability (QTI) standard, which means that material can be exported to other tools if required. It is also the best available tool for online assessments that utilise interactions such as drag and drop with image-based questions. It will continue to be the choice of tool for the creation of online assessments - the product roadmap indicates that Web-based authoring will soon supersede the desktop authoring client.

The online quiz can be viewed HERE.
