The case study below was created for a public safety department that is required to review a particular subject annually. In the past, they have used the classroom version of My Quiz Show, but this year they wanted to try the online version using My Quiz Show LMS. This was their first experience with an in-house Learning Management System (LMS). The primary goal in using the LMS was to have a simple way to track game results.

Simplicity
Simplicity was the key objective in building this game. No complicated instructions or things to learn were required in order to play the game. People were simply able to open the game and begin play. Because this was the first time they had used something like this, it was important for them to be able to print a certificate of completion as proof of having completed the game. In the end, it was agreed this game was both easy to play and easy to submit scores.

The final result was people loved it! On average, the LMS game version took about 15 minutes to complete versus the 1.5 hours it took in the classroom. They liked this game format so much they plan to expand it to other topics.

The Set Up
In this case, an actual LMS was not needed, and they did not require the SCORM 1.2 package. Instead, they used the C3 Visuals LMS. (See the image below to see the settings they selected.) In the game settings three boxes were checked: 1) Play in one-player mode. This set the game for a single player. 2) Try again pop up after wrong answer. This format gave the user a second chance to review and correct their answer. 3) Make summary mandatory. In this format, a review or get additional information request was required regardless if the right or wrong answer was given.

Online Example
If you would like to try a shorter version of the game they used, go to our online examples. When completed, you may submit your score by placing your email address in the appropriate box along with your name. You will receive an email reply with the results and so will Joe Smith, the game manager. A certificate of your completion can be printed. Joe Smith will also have access to an administrative site so he can check your results. This game example allows for scores to be recorded and in the administration area it will even identify what was answered incorrectly.
