Instructional Design Quizzes

In a recent e-learning challenge, you guys shared some amazing instructional design activities. Topics included everything from general models, theories, and concepts. Wouldn’t it be nice to know if your fellow community members learned anything from the activities you designed? Sounds like a great challenge!

Challenge of the week

This week your challenge is to create a quiz that tests learners on an instructional design principle, model, researcher, or theorist.

You can create any type of quiz you like. Go with the timeless multiple choice or true-false questions, or create something more playful using a custom quiz. You can make the quiz as simple or challenging as you like… Just keep it fair and practical.

Keep in mind the objective is to reinforce basic instructional design principles using interactive quizzes. It’s more about the content this week.

Ideas for quizzes

  • Instructional design myths - What are some common myths in our industry? Present learners with a myth or fact and ask them to identify whether it’s fact or fiction.
  • Terms and definitions - These are always easy to create and there’s no shortage of instructional design terms.
  • Instructional methods - Present your learners with a scenario and challenge them to select the appropriate instructional methods.
  • ADDIE - Create your quiz around ADDIE or a specific phase

Tools

You can use Articulate Storyline, Articulate Studio, or PowerPoint to build your instructional design quiz.
