| Tests in both radiography and MRI courses have many questions about x-ray or MRI images. Students view an x-ray or MRI film and answer questions about whether the patient was properly positioned to get the desired image, whether it is normal or shows pathology, and whether it was properly performed in terms of various technical components like scales of contrast. King says that he chose Questionmark Perception because of its ability to incorporate images in questions.
Before he had Perception, King administered paper-and-pencil tests in which students answered questions about films in view boxes in the classroom. But that meant each student had to walk up to the view box one at a time. He had to have one view box for each question that was based on a film, which meant a limited number of films per test. When he had multiple view boxes, he also had to monitor the students to ensure test security. Now, King says, he has no problem incorporating as many images as he wants into his tests, sometimes 20-25 images. He also uses the drop-down feature to ask several multiple-choice questions about the same image. |
