Qwizdom voting system review by Lee Bogg
(plastering lecturer)
Aim to use the voting system to support and
benefit learners to help retain their knowledge
to pass exams. I designed my own multiple
choice questions and placed each into a
PowerPoint slide and set the questions up for
automatic answering via the hand held remote
control. I trialled the system for revision with
my group of eight adult learners studying for the
ICA in Plastering. This method was the only
method I used to test the learners knowledge to
get them ready to take the ICA on-line exam. I
used Qwizdom three times increasing the number of
questions each time from 50 up to 150.

The automatically generated Qwizdom results came
out at
Practice 1 67 Practice 2 85 Practice
3 97 Following the last practice test the
learners took their on-line test with the results
of 5 Distinctions 2 Credits 1
Pass Ironically, the learner who obtained the
Pass grade did not attend the revision sessions!
So it is thanks to the value of using ICT and the
idea of how I could use Qwizdom to help retain my
learners knowledge that such excellent results
were obtained.

Observation of Teaching and Learning
In one of my OTLs an area for improvement was
involving all learners in questioning and not
allowing a stronger learner to take over. This
voting system allows all learners to participate
in questioning anonymously. I now plan to use
Qwizdom for Foundation Construction Award
learners and any generic areas I develop can then
be shared across college.
