While quizzes might not be the most inventive way to learn, they're still useful for memorizing and recalling facts, quickly assessing knowledge, or getting quick info at the end of a lecture or presentation. Because of this utility, you'll find tons of different apps, websites, and games out there for quickly creating and delivering everything from quizzes to flash cards to polls to exit tickets.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.
