How can I use Classmarker in the classroom?

Classmarker can be used by the learning manager to create a specific quiz that specifically relates to a certain topic that has been studied. I personaly like the idea that students take the quiz online and therefore have access to relevent resources. This aspect relates heavily to the Learning Design Framework, as it incorperates useful and meaniful resources for students to use. (Oliver, 1999) The leanring manager could also create a folder with all resouces that students need to complete the quiz. This would enhance students ability to take in information whilst reading and also allow them to distiguish between useful and irrevelent information. This also relates to the Learning Design Framework as it allows students to choose their resources according to their tasks or purpose. (Oliver, 1999)
Overall Classmarker is an effective tool that can be modified to suit all KLA's. This tool also relates heavily to the Engagement Theory derived by Keirsley and Schneiderman (1999), as it provides learning experiences that incorperate multiple perspectives, student control and complex situations. (Keirsley & Schneiderman, 1999)
