Knowledge check alternative name

Hi everyone, I am developing a module that will be delivered to physicians. The content will include a couple quick checks that I currently names Knowledge checks. However I am considering using a different nomenclature to not sound too prescriptive.

any suggestion will be welcome.

thanks.

elena.

  • Hi Elena.  Could you provide some context as to the subject matter being assessed?

      Hi Daniel. the modules will educate on a implant device to treat heart valve disease. this will not be the only training format. online curriculum will be a pre-work prior to a 1 day class and an onsite training before procedure. it is meant to create baseline knowledge and possibly speed up classroom. assessing knowledge is not a mandate per regulatory requirement. nevertheless being a 10 modules curriculum we thought having some sort of brain teasers was good. should I call them brain teasers though?

        I see!  Umm...in my mind, "Brain Teasers" should be reserved for more trivia-based content.  I would propose something like "Gauging Prior Knowledge" (formal - general) or "What Do You Know About...[Heart Valve Disease]" (informal - specific). I'm a very visual person, so I felt compelled to put something together to illustrate the difference:

  • I will often use "Quick Quiz" instead of knowledge check. Given that this is medical related, you could use something like "retention check-up" or "data diagnostics".
