Drag and Drop Quizzes engage ADHD kids through hands-on learning

We recently got this great feedback from a customer:

“My daughter is in 5th grade has ADHD, learning disabilities, and she is a visual learner. So I take her study guides from school and make Drop and Drag tests and sometimes multiple-choice quizzes. She loves the Drop/Drag tests and does them twice daily to study. Since I began using your site, it is rare that my daughter gets below a B on a Science or Social Studies test.” Susan A.

As you can see from this feedback, quizzes can be used by Mums and Dads for supplementing their kids’ school curriculum. These online quizzes also help kids with short-term memory problems. The students benefit from online quizzes because they can do quick repetitions on their tablets every single day. Visual learners benefit, too, by seeing the material on their screens. Kids are so used to screen time, so learning on it seems more natural and fun.

Parents can initially make up the quizzes from study guides to reinforce school learning. By middle school, kids with learning disabilities/ADHD should be making the quizzes up themselves to reinforce the learning.

Improve your Skype/Zoom classes with quizzes

We developed www.learnclick.com for easily creating gap-filling and other types of quizzes. The tool is especially loved by language teachers. I recently used it myself while teaching my Korean brother-in-law English with Skype.

This is how it can be done: During a Skype or Zoom class take notes of areas where the student had difficulties and of mistakes he made. Based on that create a few example sentences. Using learnclick.com you can create a quiz with a few mouse clicks in minutes which you can then share with your student. You can also create a username for your student so that the answers he gives get recorded.

Your students will appreciate this type of review and it will help you as teacher to make lessons more individual, based on the students needs.

Create online language quiz exercises

Language testing is where learnclick.com most differentiates from other quiz makers, because it is so easy to create tests around texts, like gap-filling exercises, drag & drops or matching exercises which is especially useful for testing vocabulary and grammar.

Create sections that focus on vocabulary, reading comprehension, grammar and writing.
If you have the answers recorded, you can get a quick overview of where your students weaknesses are. A test should be constructed with the goal of having students learn from their weaknesses.

Choose topics that interest your students. With learnclick.com you can insert pictures and sound files which also makes the tests more interesting.

The learnclick.com story

The idea for Learnclick started as a tool for learning languages rather than teaching them. The objective was to build a tool that would help people learn things in context. The tool which I called “cloze test flashcards” didn’t turn out to interest many students at the time, but some teachers discovered it and they liked how easy it was for creating clozes.

One teacher wrote:
“In terms of potential additional features to the site, I’d love to be able to create clozes that are longer than flashcards.  The way I use clozes, and the way many other teachers use them, is as a vehicle to teach students that clues to what words belong in the blank can be anywhere in the reading passage — several sentences in front and several later.  Only being able to create a cloze as a flashcard severely limits their usefulness.”

That is when I realized that there was a potential market and that I should gear the website towards teachers instead of students. I added other quiz types like drag&drop, matching and multiple choice quizzes. I added the ability to have the quizzes automatically assessed and for those grades to be saved. I asked teachers what features they miss and added them over time.
