Students learn better when they are interacting with the learning subject; answering questions, playing a game or annotating and moving objects. So, here is a great tool to spice up your course.

BookWidgets provides an effortless way to create interactive learning activities that can be used during the class or as formative assessments after the class. It’s all about engaging your students with the subject.

Although the above activities sound complicated to design, they are very straightforward. Creating BookWidgets is based on filling in templates with your questions, images, audio, video and lesson content. That’s it. You don’t need to design or program anything! There are many template categories to choose from; Test & Review, Games, Pictures & Videos, Math, Embed Third Party, and Checklists.

Grading and Feedback

Once students have completed the activity, you can check their results and provide feedback from your BookWidgets account. There are many options, some of these are:

  • Give feedback on each student’s answer.
  • Return student work without correction or grades, but with teacher feedback.
  • Allow students to see the answers after submitting.
