Resumen de Detailed online quizzes: a tool to enhance learning experience in quantitative business courses
Rahul Kale, Paul A. Fadil, Saurabh Gupta
This article describes the development and use of detailed online quizzes to enhance student performance and course experience. The instructor�s situation is very typical of a regional business school with no major, minor, track, or any such specialized course of study in operations management. Students only take one required operations course in their program. Thus, it becomes challenging to reasonably cover and expose students to the major themes in operations management and achieve higher learning objectives in the course (based on Bloom�s taxonomy of learning (Bloom, 1956)). Faced with low student grades/performance and low student satisfaction with the course/instructor, on line quizzes were utilized to improve the course experience. Based on a before-after comparison, quizzes were found to be a very effective and efficient way to overcome the challenges and proved to be very successful for both, the students and the instructor.
