Using WebQuiz and the college intranet to enhance class time and support independent investigation

Abstract

Describes how online assignments using the WebQuiz program developed at Harvey Mudd College enrich both technical and non‐technical courses in several important ways. By helping prepare students for class by encouraging careful reading of background material, the focus of class time can shift from exposition to development of ideas, leading to a richer and more interactive classroom experience. By providing guidance and detailed feedback, WebQuiz can be used to support students in their independent review of material, as well as in the independent study of new material. Discusses in detail several applications of this flexible, Web‐based platform.
