About the Event :

Unlock the potential of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) as a useful tool for both summative and formative assessments in this webinar. MCQs are not only easy to administer, but they can be effectively integrated into both online and offline learning environments. Well-designed MCQs allow testing for a wide range of content and outcomes. However, poorly designed MCQs can inadvertently promote shallow learning or induce guessing.

In this webinar, we will delve into the key considerations when designing MCQs. By examining various examples, participants will learn to identify common flaws in MCQs and explore the general guidelines that underpin quality MCQ design.
