In an earlier post, I wrote about how I use Edmodo to help my learners with their “muddiest point”, an area of difficulty in their learning. In this post, I would like to share another similar activity to do the same job. I often create and assign my language learners weekly formative quizzes with Edmodo’s Quiz tool. (Before I used to have paper-based quizzes instead) The great thing about it is that it provides visual feedback, analytics, on quiz questions indicating their “muddiest point”. In the sample below, each pie chart refers to one question. Green proportions show the percentage of students who answered the questions correctly while red ones refer to the percentage of students who failed those questions. As you can see, Question 7 is the most complicated question among others. Then I use this data to help my learners with their area of difficulty. Here is how to do that. Getting Started

Teachers collect and read responses, and then prepare answers with sometimes supporting materials. Now I will explain how this activity can be done with Edmodo. Getting Started

Of course, this activity can be done without Edmodo in face-to-face classroom setting. However, if you have an Edmodo class, this activity may benefit you and your learners especially in the following ways:
