Online quizzes are very exciting for students to participate in and connects with the behaviourist theory of learning. Students are immediately rewarded for working out the correct answer and are able to return to have another chance. Advantages of online questionnaires and quizzes is that students are able to receive instant feedback on the correctedness of their answers. It is a cheap method to administer. The data can be analysised as it is usually stored in one database. The disadvantages are that not everyone has internet access. They are directed to the younger person. There are lots of different formats and time limits applied to questionnaires. The learning place has many online quizzes and questionnaires for students to do. Some quizzes come in the form of games. Many games are useful for students to engage in as they are incidently learning as they play. Students will revisit games to improve previous scores or to bet someone elses score.
