QUIZ FEATURE

"I think only learning wiki lessons is not enough, there should be practice. I am conceiving a new function of “Quiz”, where users can put up test questions or answer them, including Single choice, Multiple choice, True or false, Cloze, Correction, Reading comprehension, Multilingual connection (connect words, phrases, etc. with the same meaning in several languages, may be imported from those “in many languages”), with different difficulties and different parts (prefix & suffix, gender, animal vocabulary, etc.). There can be analysis and comment for each question. Some questions can be marked as valuable to be translated, and become new questions of other languages. Finally, combinations of questions can be saved as “test papers”, and users can take the tests. I think there can be more ideas of this “Quiz”.

"I just think that quiz can be realized, and it will be easy. I don't know about how to set up specifications. I think references can be all kinds of language exam, such as TOFEL, JLPT, HSK, the rules of setting a test paper can be found, and users who are creating a quiz should be informed with them. I think quizzes should be centered by "key points", because teachers set questions with them. Then users can choose one of them and create a quiz about it. Repeated and those have high similarity with another would be unable to submit. There would be quizzes about not only languages, but also culture and history. I think it is important to support multilingual practice, in "connection" and maybe also some other. Users can choose how many and which languages they want to practice. It would be initiative, and it also suits "Polyglot Club" the site's name."
