Collaborative Testing Using Quizzes as a Method to Improve Undergraduate Nursing Student Engagement and Interaction

Abstract Alternative testing methods are gaining popularity as an innovative means of assessing learning and retention of knowledge. Collaborative testing, an alternative to traditional testing, fosters interaction and collaboration among students. This article describes the use of collaborative testing using quizzes in an accelerated second-degree baccalaureate nursing program in order to enhance learning and retention of course content. Feedback from students was overwhelmingly positive, and most believed this strategy provided a structured method to their studying and acquisition of course concepts, which was particularly beneficial within an accelerated course format.
