Feature Friday | Community Library

As a member of Cram Stoppers, users have access to a Community Library. This library contains pre-made quizzes that can be viewed, taken, and copied over to your personal Quiz Library.  The edit function allows for these quizzes to be used “as is” or changed to the user’s liking. In addition, quizzes can be submitted by any CS member (that includes you!) or by teachers or tutors.

 

 

This is what it looks like when you first enter the Community Library. 

Lots to see, but very easy to maneuver

	We have a Frequent Searches option as well as and advanced Search, which allows for you to search by quiz name, grade, subject or even school just to name a few.
Total Quizzes as of this post is 663!  As you can see we have it broken down by grade for ease of reference to know how many are available per grade.

There are certain RULES that must be followed when submitting to or utilizing the quizzes in the library.

Feature Friday | Just Logical

Just Logical is a unique multiple choice only quizzing system that supplies the learner with instant feedback.  It is designed to help students study specific skill areas while giving positive, immediate feedback. These areas include everything from adverbs and prepositional phrases to multiplication and map skills. 

When taking JL quizzes, the user continues to select responses to each question until they get the correct answer.  In doing so, they are able to apply the same logic on the next question, reinforcing the same skill.  Each Just Logical quiz can measure up to three skill sets at a time, determined by the person creating the quiz.
