• “Default Blackboard assessments are rather bland looking (just like the whole system)”
• “That’s the major flaw… they don’t care so much about visual presentation”
• “It’s hard for students to find Blackboard visually appealing after spending hours on Flickr, MySpace, Bebo or Last.fm”

• Engage learners with e-Assessment.• Familiarise them with system’s interface.• Demonstrate seamless operation.

InQuizitor
“The joy of using InQuizitor is that it doesn't feel like learning - but it is and you are. Once you start you just can't stop. It's more compelling than reconstituted potato snacks in a tube.”
