Adapted

Make sure that the level of difficulty is appropriate for your audience.

Questions that are too easy will lose interest and questions that are too difficult will frustrate your participants.

Also, make sure there is enough time to answer. If the question is long and requires a few seconds of thought, be sure to schedule a response time of at least 45 seconds. This will prevent the risk of frustrating some participants who would not have time to answer.

Clear

Make sure the premise of your quizzes is clear. Keep the rules short and to the point. Participants should know immediately what to expect each time they click a button.

The questions should never be vague or too broad. There should be no room for different interpretations.

If your micro-learning quizzes are linked to a challenge, present the rules for earning points before the questions are answered.

Pay particular attention to the title of your quizzes and prefer short titles in order to be more effective.

Illustrated

Your quizzes will have more impact if they are accompanied by media. You can insert media in the introduction of your quizzes, in the questions as well as in the answer explanations.

For example, you can insert a video file in the introduction of your quiz, which the participants can watch before answering. This will allow them to start learning before they even face the questions. This will increase the educational impact of your quizzes.

Illustrating each question with an image will make taking the quiz more fun for your users. You can also base some of your questions on their illustration image. However, if you choose this option, be sure to allow enough time for the participants to analyze the image and then answer the question that refers to it.

Explained

The greatest added value of your micro-learnings comes from the additional fields to the questions. There are two types of additional fields: the general introduction of the quiz and the "Additional information" field, attached to each question.

The general introduction of the quiz allows you to set the context and provide training elements to the participant before they even start the quiz.

The "Additional Information" field, which appears to the participant on the final results page, allows you to provide more details on each of the questions asked. These explanation fields are what make micro-learning quizzes a real fun training tool for your teams.

Varied

Try to vary the pleasures to avoid monotony. You can play with the subjects, the difficulty, the presentation...

Why not publish, from time to time, less formal quizzes in addition to your usual ones? For example, a quiz on general culture or current events posted every Friday will allow you to end the week in style!

Frequent

Make your quizzes a reason for your teams to come to the platform every day.

To optimize their effectiveness in terms of training, it is preferable to set up short but recurring quiz formats. Prefer a rhythm of two to four questions several times a week, rather than a dozen questions once in a while.

A short and regular format will take less time out of your sales representatives' day and will have the advantage of creating a ritual and building their loyalty to the platform.

Visible

Don't hesitate to remind your teams of the existence of your micro-learning quizzes. This can be done through publications on the platform, and/or possibly emails. You can highlight the topics covered, the challenges, the rules, etc.

We also advise you to consult the statistics of your quizzes on a regular basis. You can use them to highlight users with good scores in the news feed, or to identify the questions on which the most participants have encountered difficulties, in order to come back to the concerned subjects in a more formal way.
