__** Quest Online Homework **__

 * What is Quest, what does it do for you? **
 * Quest has an online question bank of math and science questions available for creating homework assignments.
 * The interface provides teachers with the flexibility to pick and chose specific questions and grading schemes to meet the needs of their classes, such as:
 * Setting grade boundaries
 * Students receive results as they work
 * Students may have the opportunity to fix missed questions (for a decreasing amount of credit for the 2nd, 3rd, etc attempt)
 * Students get immediate feedback for scores
 * Students can be provided with grading scheme
 * The order of questions and answers are changed for each student
 * Some questions change numbers within the problem, resulting in different answers
 * For this reason, students may "discuss" (not help) each other on the assignment
 * In our class I hope to use this on a weekly basis as a way to extend learning and allow students to monitor their mastery of material in real time.
 * Once the assignment is complete, students are provided with a mark scheme that provides explanations and calculations for their individual exam. This can be downloaded as a pdf file and saved for future reference
 * Here is an example of Aatha's:
 * [[file:Qwest Example Student Mark Scheme.pdf]]
 * Assignments will be posted on the assignment sheet for students
