Limitations:

  • The tests can be traditional and not retain attention depending on how the teacher creates them
  • Does not allow for media to be added or much color to create a more interesting format.

Intuitiveness:

Teacher can publish their test so other educators can view their creations. Also, a teacher may use another creators assessment for their own class. Creating tests becomes very simple for the teacher instead of having to align all of the questions and making the format themselves, they use the template from EasyTestMaker.

Conclusion:

Engagement: EasyTestMaker is not extremely engaging because it does produce traditional tests. The teacher would only use this to create different formal assessments that would test for comprehension. 

Enhancement: It does not enhance learning, it does provide an easier method of creating formal assessments for teachers. 

Extension: Students can create accounts for free to help them study for a test by creating practice problems. Students can use it to study for any class and can be used for most grades. Besides for studying 

 

Applications:

EasyTestMaker can help teacher modify test for students with learning disabilities and provide accommodations for English Language Learners. The teacher can provide fill in the blank, true/false or matching questions to help their students. It allows for easy adjustment when implementing accommodations
