I am reviewing a Web 2.0 tool called Testmoz. 

The URL is www.testmoz.com

I would classify it as partly a Critical Thinking/Problem Solving Tool since it provides an opportunity for students to think about and work through material that has been presented, and also a Feedback Tool, since the instructor can use to give students feedback on how well they have assimilated the material.

I used this tool to create a brief quiz about breastfeeding.  I found it easy to use.  The tool is complete y web-based, so I did not have to download or install any tools or components onto my computer to use it.  It is free for simple projects, and one can also set up a paid account for more features.  I did not need  any special skills to use the tool, beyond basic data input skills.  However, to use it effectively I need skills in constructing good test items.  When you go to the website, you see a screen that invites you to make a test, or view a demo. 

I chose to view a demo, which was a very brief and easy test that I took, and was able to see my results immediately.  I then created a test.  Testmoz gives you the option of several different features, listed below:

After choosing the types of questions you want to construct, making the test and then providing the URL to your test-takers, the program will then keep records for you of their results.  It is plain, with no bells and whistles, but effective to meet many instructors' needs.  There is a helpful FAQ page that answers most of what anyone would want to know about the site.

To use this tool:

1.  Go to www.testmoz.com on your browser.

2.  Click on the "Make a Test" button.

3.  Type a test name and create a password for the test that users will need to access this test.

4.  You are then taken to a "Test Control Panel" page, where you can adjust how many points each item is worth, add questions and publish your test.  This page also gives you the URL for your test, and you need to save it, since the site will not keep it or remember it for you.

5.  You then input as many questions as you need, choosing what type of question you want to use for each item (multiple choice, multiple response, true/false or fill in the blank)

6.  When you have put in all of the questions you need for your test, you then click on the "Publish" button.  This makes your test available to anyone who has the URL.

7.  Students can then log in to the student portal and take the test

8.  When a test has been complete, the tool will give instant feedback.

I created a test that can be accessed at www.testmoz.com/329463.

I could see myself using this tool to create pre and post tests for any type of teaching activity I might do in my clinic or in a school envioronment.  It would be useful for distance learning situations as well.  The advantages are that it is very simple and user-friendly to create tests.  The disadvantage is also the simplicity, that it does not have the bells and whistles that some instructors might want to use in their test creations.  I would definitely recommend this tool to any instructor that wants to make a simple pre or post test for their material.
