How to Share a Quiz

February 27th, 2010

One thing that isn’t obvious (yet) on Quizify is how to share a quiz. I corrected a broken link posted by Amir Dekel on Twitter, and I’m reposting here for everyone’s benefit.

Linking to a quiz is very simple, http://quizify.com/edit?url= followed by the URL of the input file. There is no way yet to link to a quiz created via manual input, but that will come eventually.

The Quizify Blog

First post on the Quizify blog! (Okay, second, since I write a single post when I attempted to get Quizify started a couple of years ago).

Anyhow, this blog will keep you posted of news and updated for Quizify. And later on, I’ll update the design to match Quizify proper.

Happy Quizifying :-)

Some other edu sites

December 24th, 2007

Thanks to TechCrunch I found The Best Web 2.0 Applications For Education — 2007, which lists mostly things that aren’t necessarily related to education. But there were a few gems in the list. CLEAR has a number of tools for language teachers to create web-based learning tools. ESLvideo.com is neat, as just like Quizify it takes advantage of existing content on the web.

Also via Facebook I found ExamsRUS which seems to be trying to do a lot of things that are themselves not new but rarely done all at once: course ratings, course info, professor ratings, course materials sharing, etc. It’s also done out of students/alumni(?) of my school, so I will have to see if I can take advantage of that situation.
