Résumé
Although quizzes have become widely used for assessment purposes in online courses, the specific types of questions employed in quizzes have received less scholarly attention. To address this gap, this study investigates the question types used in quizzes within an online LSP teacher professional development course (LSP-TEOC.Pro) based on the Moodle platform, the rationale behind the question types and the test takers’ attitudes towards quizzes. The study employed a descriptive research design, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data. Initially, a descriptive statistical analysis was conducted to identify the question types used in the online LSP-TEOC.Pro course, and the rationale for each question type. Then, interviews were conducted with a group of Turkish native-speaking test takers who voluntarily completed at least four modules during the trial phase of the course (IO6). Findings revealed that a variety of question types was used to evaluate the test takers’ knowledge at both receptive and productive levels. Content analysis of the interview data indicated that test takers found the assessment system used in the online course highly useful for self-evaluating their knowledge of each respective module. The results of this study offer valuable insights for online course designers in designing quizzes for summative assessment purposes.
