Introducing Project Quizzes for The Family History Guide
So you’ve worked through the Goals for a Project in The Family History Guide, and you’d like to see how well you remember the concepts. Or, perhaps you’re a family history trainer who would like to measure learning for those you teach. Either way, the new Project Quizzes in The Family History Guide could be just the ticket.
What Are They?
Each quiz is an interactive HTML5 presentation that you can use on any device – desktop, tablet, or phone. They include multiple choice, true/false, matching, and sequence questions to measure your learning on a Project. Quizzes are graded, with 80% being a passing score, and you can review each question at the end of the quiz. Here are a few samples from the quiz for Project 1: FamilySearch Family Tree:
