Offline assessment
A computer-based test involves either keyboarding skills or the manipulation of electronic mouse devices, both of which operate at various levels of efficiency. For kids, old people or someone don’t use computer very much, a paper-based test may sound more practical.

Combine online assessment with offline assessment
As we have mentioned at the beginning, paper-based and computer-based test both have its own advantage and disavantage. The paper-based test requires a lot of time to do the grading while the computer-based test requires there should be a computer around. However, using a teacher test maker, we can combine these two types of assessment together to achieve a better education effect.
First, issue the paper-based test to your students and let them finish it. Then, put the test online to maximize the education utility of the test. Set the feedback for each question so that your students can learn why they are right or wrong through the feedbacks themselves. In the long run, the Flash quiz test can be a fantastic tool for you students to do a review.

Teaching can become much more easier. Therefore, take action right now, make your teaching full of flexibility.
