Effective eLearning Interactive Quiz
Project designed to engage the learner and provided additional feedback information to build on the learning experience.
Target audience: late elementary students, ages ranging from 10-11 years old.
Project purpose for students to learn and be able to:
1) Compare/contrast the strength of the magnetic fields of Jupiter and Earth
2) Identify who and what has been studying Jupiter over time
3) Identify the different layers of Jupiter’s interior
4) Explain how auroras form on Jupiter compared to Earth
Measurable learning outcomes took into account different learning within Bloom’s Taxonomy, working toward use of higher order thinking in doing so. These measurable learning outcomes and assessments used in conjunction with the digital video learning object demonstrated how they aid in student learning and acquisition of knowledge and skills.
This project went through various iterations, beginning with background image selection, question organization, coding of different elements for interactivity, and then additional features to help the audience communicate their success via an email or tweet.
Three images were originally created before determining which one would be used for the background of this project.
As a final image to be used for the background, this image, as well as the design elements added, contrasted best when a filter was applied to the image and the button to start the quiz was changed to a color that made it easier to process visually.
Images were annotated and adjusted to fit containers for certain question types where needed, allowing the user to select the image that correctly answered a question based on what was learned in the digital video.
Angular JS code was used to design and develop the interactive components of the quiz. These images capture the code behind the main page, as well as the quiz elements.
Images and other components were designed to compliment one another, while keeping in mind design principles. The final colors selected were based on research about how color can affect children’s performance on cognitive tasks, color selection to encourage engagement of children, and color psychology in regard to children around the age of 10-11.
When the audience interacts with the quiz there are visual responses through color changes denoting the correct choice, as well as helpful text to confirm or expand on the learning designed with the user in mind.
A final video capturing the NASA digital video and the interactive quiz to compliment it was then developed and produced in order to provide an overview of how the two could be used together.
