For Educators: Going Beyond Flashcards....

For individual use, our gFlash line of mobile flashcard applications are a great way to study. They're interesting, focused, and of course, mobile.

But in today's classrooms and education settings, there's a need for something new (and inexpensive) to hold student interest and evaluate lesson effectiveness.

With that in mind, we proudly introduce gWhizMLA - The first ever Google Docs based mobile assessment tool for iPod Touch and iPhone.

And it's FREE for the fall semester!

How does gWhizMLA work?

Like gFlash+ and gFlashPro, the instructor creates a spreadsheet (or uses our template) containing a set of questions. The questions can be multiple choice, true/false, short answer, sequenced, and more. They can even contain sound in both the question and answer for language studies. The instructor then shares the spreadsheet with a designated Google account registered here.

From the iPod Touch or iPhone, students then register their device by typing in the Google account and the list of assessments (tests) is presented to them.

As they take the test, their answers are recorded and written back to the same Google spreadsheet that the teacher created!

Another cool feature is that the instructor can lead the students thru the test, controlling the current question from their own iPod Touch, with the ability to review results on a chart as they go along.

Interested? Download gWhizMLA today to your iPod Touch/iPhone. You can check out the assessments in our public gwhizmla account or create your own and share them to us. If you'd prefer to start your own account, you can register it here. (You can also check out the PDF overview or the short video)
