INTRODUCTION: Problem-Based Learning (PBL) was based on the fact that students must be the center of education. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) received criticism, arguing that no significant difference exist between it and conventional teaching. In our study, we examined the introduction of multiple mini quizzes after every PBL case as a method to improve student overall performance. METHODS: The study was a quasi-experimental interventional study that included 151 students from two batches (third and fourth year medical students attending respiratory and renal blocks, respectively). Each batch was divided and randomly assigned as "intervention groups" and "non-intervention" group. Intervention group was presented with mini quizzes of 10 questions each, after every PBL case. Midterm and final exam scores were compared between the two groups as a way of assessment of intervention effectiveness. RESULTS: In the respiratory block, when comparing the midterm and final results for intervention and non-intervention groups, the P value was 0.46 in the midterm and 0.59 in the final exam. In the renal block, when comparing the midterm and final results for intervention and non-intervention groups, the P value was 0.5 in the midterm and 0.32 in the final. CONCLUSION: Our study delineates the lack of objective effect on student performance measured by midterm and final exams by introducing quizzes after PBL sessions.

Science, as a subject is universal and knows no boundaries. The claims of Science for inclusion in the school curriculum came to be recognized after years of active and persistent efforts. Many students find science extremely inspiring and interesting, however when amply motivated. Pre-test and post-test experimental research design, was adopted for the study. A sample of 219, 8th class students (169 female, 50 male students) from six Ashram high schools of Warangal district was selected. Students' Motivation Towards Science Learning (SMTSL) (Tuan et al. [1]) scale was adopted in this study. The sum of SMTSL hiked to 87.38% from 73.28% in post-test. This increase was attributed to the intervention through tutoring students with video lessons and evaluating with quizzes before and after screening video lessons. The variable Performance goal, contributed to the maximum (33.62%). A shift in students from moderately motivated category to highly motivated category was also found in post intervention situation.

“…System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ) was used for evaluation purpose [37]. The PSSUQ is comprised of 21 items with 7-point Likert-scale (ranging from strongly agree [1] to strongly disagree [7]). The following illustration portrays a sample question: Lewis, J. R. [37] The PSSUQ consists of seven subscales: design / layout (items 1-3); functionality (items 4-6); ease of use (items 7-10); learnability (items 11-13); satisfaction (items 14-16); outcome / future use (items [17][18][19]; and errors / system Reliability (items [20][21].…”

Quizzes refer to a useful assessment method that assesses overall about what has been taught. Quizzes devised from various interactive ways are capable of encouraging students to pay closer attention and indirectly improve their comprehension towards the subject. Hence, two-dimensional (2D) virtual agent multimedia quiz application (app) was developed. Accordingly, a 2D female virtual agent with Malaysia's native look had been designed to perform the quiz through the app. The quiz app is composed of 20 multiple-choice questions. The targeted participants who took this quiz were from fourth and fifth semester students from electrical engineering department of Malaysia polytechnics. The quiz app was developed based on several theories, principles, and literature overview. The quiz app drives with different functions through several screens namely home, question, feedback, hint, reward and review screens. Additionally, this paper reports the outcomes of usability and user satisfaction based on the tests conducted.
