These tools can be used as a replacement for iClickers that don't require students to purchase any devices. This allows you to do more than just ask multiple choice and true/false questions and makes it really easy for you to view and analyze the data once quizzes are complete. There are a number of online quiz options listed below. Each option offers a different user experience depending on your goal. The great thing about all of the options, is that students can use a browser from any computer or mobile device to access and complete your quiz.

SocrativeSocrative is another assessment tool that is less game based and more laid back when it comes to answering questions. This more closely aligns with taking a more traditional online quiz rather than playing a game. In addition to multiple choice and true/false, Socrative also allows you to ask short answer questions. Photos can be attached to any questions or answer to ask questions about graphics or diagrams. This option is a great way to ask questions as you lecture that do not have to be previously entered into the system.
