Extended My Quiz licenses for GSOM SPbU professors

The Center for Teaching Excellence in Business Education at GSOM SPbU assessed Russian digital services for creating digital surveys and selected the best ones for use by professors in interactive classes. As a result, extended licenses of the My Quiz service were purchased.

This service allows professors to create in a playful way and conduct them directly in the classroom. Professors can use it both to check the knowledge level for all participants, and for competitions between students. Also, the service is suitable for collecting feedback and as an extra tool in discussions.

In the free version of the service such survey types are available:

• question with multiple answers;
• open question;
• vote;
• image as an answer option;
• drawing the answer.

As part of the extended license, users can create word cloud questions and use advanced survey settings. For example, send individual email links to participants, require the student to enter the full name, divide the survey into rounds, and receive a report on the participants' answers at the end of the game. If you need access to the extended functionality of the service, please write to tel@gsom.spbu.ru.
