The use of this kind of technology can only improve student learning by providing quick feedback to students<\/div>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">learners and help the teacher diagnose student needs. \u00a0Overall I find that considering I have little experience with creating<\/div>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">moodle activities and with the ease I believe I created a useful assessment tool, I would incorporate a quiz in\u00a0a Moodle site under most circumstances. \u00a0The opportunities for supporting student learning are clear, immediate feedback \u00a0and chances for repeating the quizzes in order for students to act upon the feedback.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial; line-height: 21px;\">Gibbs, G. and Simpson, C.
