Examples from study environments

If you have a good example of how you have incorporated the following into your studies, please contact AAU Student Guidance.

What can an online test or quiz be used for?

Does your programme need to test potential students' perceptions of the programme? This is possible through online tests or quizzes, which can focus on testing the match between the form of work or content of the programme and the preferences of potential students. It can also be designed to give potential students an idea of where their academic strengths will be and what topics they should be aware of if they choose the programme in question.

But what might such a test or quiz look like?

Specifically, you can develop an academic test with academic questions so that the potential student experiences the level and content of the programme – the format can be both an academic test in a more loose format such as a quiz or a more game-oriented test. Consider asking yourself these questions before development:

  • Which focus is the most important for the education?
  • Are there known reasons for drop-out in the programme that can constructively indicate which focus tools for clarification should benefit from?
  • Are the academic tasks and challenges representative of the programme?

If you want to know more

Often it will be the head of studies on the programme who is responsible for the initiative, while it will be the study board and a local TAP employee who carry out the task – every spring, the collected knowledge can be worked through so that the material can be corrected, fully edited and published at the beginning of August.
