Abstract :
The authors have implemented World Wide Web-based quizzes for an introductory microprocessor course. Their approach can be viewed as following that of an asynchronous learning network (ALN) model and has focused upon improving learning in a course taken by large number of undergraduate engineering students. Their work was tested on a subset of this class during the Fall 1996 semester with additional testing planned for the Summer and Fall 1997 semesters. They describe the initial, limited use of these electronic quizzes and make some tentative conclusions about the design of Web based quizzes
