Interactive and voice

Multiple choice cannot tell you who understood.

Thirteen question formats that ask people to do something rather than pick something. Drag to rank, plot a point, set a clock, read a passage aloud, or explain your reasoning and be graded on it.

  • Thirteen interactive formats, four of them spoken
  • Spoken answers transcribed and graded against a rubric
  • Creators build these, not just play them

Every format

All thirteen, and what each one measures.

This is the complete list. Any of them can appear in any quiz, and the same quiz runs solo, in a live room, or as classroom homework.

Place and manipulate

7
Plot a point
Click a coordinate grid to place a point. Graded on position, so a label cannot be guessed.
Number line
Drag a marker to a target value. Tolerance is yours to set, so precision can be as strict as the topic needs.
Slider
Slide to a value on a scale. Useful for estimation, proportion and confidence.
Image hotspot
Tap the correct spot on an image. Works for diagrams, maps, anatomy and screenshots.
Fraction bar
Shade parts of a divided bar. Tests whether a fraction is understood rather than recognised.
Beaker
Fill a vessel to a target volume. Reading a scale is a skill a text question cannot assess.
Clock
Set the clock to a target time. Analogue time telling, tested the way it is used.

Order and connect

2
Ranking
Put items in the correct order. Sequence, chronology and priority, where the order is the whole answer.
Match pairs
Connect each left item to its match. Terms to definitions, causes to effects, parts to functions.

Spoken

4
Read aloud
Read a passage out loud, scored on accuracy and reading speed. Reading fluency measured directly.
Speak the answer
Answer out loud. Recorded, transcribed and checked, with no keyboard between the learner and the answer.
Spell aloud
Hear a word and spell it out loud. Spelling assessed the way it is taught and tested.
Explain aloud
Speak an explanation. Transcribed and graded against a rubric you write, so reasoning is assessed and not just the conclusion.
Spoken formats need a microphone. Everything else works with a mouse or a touchscreen.
Spoken answers

Some things you can only test by listening.

Reading fluency, pronunciation, spelling and the ability to explain your reasoning all need a voice. LivQuiz records the answer, transcribes it, and grades it against a rubric you set.

  • Read aloud for reading fluency and pace
  • Speak the answer for recall without a keyboard
  • Spell aloud for spelling assessed the way it is taught
  • Explain aloud, transcribed then graded against your rubric

“It slows down because the reactants get used up, so there are fewer particles left to bump into each other.”

How authoring works

Building one takes about a minute.

Interactive questions are authored in the same editor as everything else. There is no separate tool to learn.

01

Pick a format

Choose from the thirteen formats. Each one comes with its own editor for the thing it measures.

02

Set the target

Define the correct state: the right order, the right coordinate, the rubric the spoken answer is graded against.

03

Preview

Play the question exactly as a student will see it, then adjust before it goes out.

Questions

Common questions.

How are spoken answers graded?

The audio is transcribed, then the transcript is assessed against the rubric you wrote for that question. You see both the transcript and the rubric breakdown.

Do students need a microphone?

Only for the four spoken formats. Everything else works with a mouse or a touchscreen, and the browser asks permission before recording.

Do these work on a phone?

Yes. Every interactive format is built for touch first, since most students answer on a phone.

Can I mix formats in one quiz?

Yes. A single quiz can move from multiple choice to a ranking question to a spoken explanation without any setup.
