Abstract

Various e-tools and interactive media have improved and enhanced the teaching and learning in higher education. For example, flipped teaching pedagogy encourages the students to engage in the various in-class activities rather than just to be a passive learner by listening to the lectures. On the other hand, newly joined students have trouble understanding the key modules since they don't know the fundamental concepts related to the modules. This paper illustrates how online quiz creators and education tools might improve the student performance in academic setup. The online quiz creator has numerous styles, including photo quizzes, team quizzes, one-page quizzes, image quizzes, memory games, and match games for dynamic, energetic, and passionate student engagement. Students may self-assess their progress using ICT-based online quizzes. This platform assists with student engagement and learning to make them active learner. Students are greatly motivated by various learning styles and technology that suits them. This also has helped the students to avoid a random online tool and join a safe environment to enhance their learning. Supporting multiple learning styles is one of the techniques that should be implemented in every module delivery. The effectiveness of using these practices in teaching is measured through student feedback. Based on their responses, it is concluded that many benefits are found by adapting these practices, such as students' increased interest in their modules, improved understanding skills, and relational abilities.
