Quiz Carousel - building learning resilience in the face of COVID-19

测验旋转木马是一个数字应用程序，帮助学生嵌入知识到他们的长期记忆，同时使学生-教师反馈。在目前的封锁期间，这一点尤其重要，因为教过的东西可能很快就会被遗忘，但该产品也迫切需要长期使用，以方便家庭作业、复习和嵌入学习。这个概念是经过充分研究和实证的。近年来，知识丰富课程的重要性受到了人们的欢迎，学术文献表明，进行记忆测试可以提高长期记忆力（这一概念被称为测试效应）。该产品基于科学教师亚当·博克瑟（Adam Boxer）几年前提出的一个想法，并在一个名为检索轮盘赌的基于excel的系统中进行了原型设计。Adam从一个高度参与的教师社区用户那里获得的学习和反馈已经被整合到新的Quiz Carousel产品中，他将继续领导教师参与和客户声音。测验旋转木马的工作原理如下：**教师上传精心排序的问题**涵盖整个课程。**学生将近期和早期课程领域的问题结合起来进行测验，使用自适应学习和间隔重复算法来选择问题。答案可以看作是抽认卡。系统在可能的情况下自动评分，减轻了教师的工作负担。**老师对误解和错误答案提供反馈**。我们致力于确保一个版本的问答旋转木马是免费的，永远。长期来看，我们希望内置付费功能来增强学习体验。Quiz Carousel将在帮助学生嵌入学习方面发挥重要作用，现在比以往任何时候都更重要，因为它适合远程学习。我们提供了一种简单易用的方式，让学校和学生在这些困难时期保持联系，同时也提供了一种工具，帮助他们在一切恢复正常后将关键课程知识锁定为长期记忆。扩展影响资金我们的初始资金使我们能够创建一个非常受欢迎的旋转木马系统原型。1200多名教师已经在使用Carousel为超过20000名学生设置检索测验，该产品针对远程和课堂使用进行了优化。这种扩展的影响资金将使我们能够设计一个长期的商业模式，通过创建一个付费版本的学科部门和整个学校，以补充现有的免费教师版本，我们将继续免费提供旋转木马。我们还将能够开发创新的高级功能，包括更先进的自动评分和智能间隔重复，它可以根据个人或班级调整提供的测验。

Quiz Carousel is a digital application to help students embed knowledge into their long-term memory while enabling pupil-teacher feedback. This is particularly relevant during the current lockdown when things that have been taught may be quickly forgotten, but the product is also urgently needed longer-term to facilitate homework, revision and embedding learning.The concept is well-researched and evidence based. There has been a welcome focus on the importance of a knowledge rich curriculum in recent years, and academic literature shows that taking memory tests improves long-term retention (a concept known as the testing effect).The product is based on an idea developed several years ago by science teacher Adam Boxer and prototyped in an Excel-based system called Retrieval Roulette. Adam's learning and feedback from a highly engaged teacher community of users has been incorporated into the new Quiz Carousel product, and he continues to lead on teacher engagement and customer voice.Quiz Carousel works as follows:1. **Teachers upload carefully sequenced questions** covering a whole curriculum.2. **Students take quizzes** combining questions from both recent and earlier curriculum areas, using adaptive learning and spaced repetition algorithms to select questions. Answers can be viewed as flashcards.3. **The system auto-marks where possible**, reducing the work burden for teachers.4. **Teachers offer feedback** on misconceptions and incorrect answers.We are committed to ensuring that a version of Quiz Carousel is available for free, forever. Longer-term we expect to build in paid-for features that enhance the learning experience.Quiz Carousel will play an important role in helping students to embed learning now more than ever, given its suitability for learning at distance. We offer a simple and easy-to-use way for schools and students to remain in contact through these difficult times, as well as a tool to help lock key curriculum knowledge into the long-term memory once things return to normal.EXTENSION FOR IMPACT FUNDINGOur initial funding allowed us to create a hugely popular prototype of the Carousel system. 1,200+ teachers are already using Carousel to set retrieval quizzes for over 20,000 students, with the product optimised for usage both remotely and in the classroom. This extension for impact funding will allow us to devise a long-term commercial model for Carousel by creating a paid-for version for subject departments and whole schools to complement the existing free teacher version, which we will continue to offer at no cost. We will also be able to develop innovative premium features, including more advanced auto-marking and intelligent spaced repetition, which adjusts the quizzes offered depending on the individual or class.
