Take our online test

Thoroughly enjoyed this ICT, it`s applications in education is not just limited to teachers, but student can be involved and engaged in their own learning by developing tests of their own and sharing them with fellow students. One of the principles in Siemens (2004) theory of connectivism states learning is the `Ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts` and that it `is a core skill.`
I could see tests developed by students as a strategy teachers could use during the process of assessment that not only utilises technology but also allows the students to see the connections of their learning. Not only do the students need the knowledge to ask questions but they also need to know the answers. I could also see it as a tool for group work, not just for the individual student.
