Each page in this carefully designed quiz uses a lengthy multiple-choice filtered gapfill question type to automatically filter out the prepositions into a long series of multiple choice tasks integrated into the text.

Alice in Wonderland: Audio Exercises I.

This module shows the use of audio recordings to test a learner's listening abilities. The module contains many very short readings from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, and embeds these into questions. In this module, the question types are cloze/gapfill and dictation. The gapfill question types are somewhat easier, requiring the learner to concentrate only on specific words. The short dictation exercises require the learner to look at punctuation as well. Learners can pause and replay the recordings as often as they like. As the original texts are also contained in the module, the Quiz Player is able to accurately mark the learner's work. We have also created an educational design page on audio exercises to help other authors create modules like this one.
