Samantha, a project manager at FedCo, has been tasked with conducting training assessments for her team. 

This is a breeze for her to set up but she had a challenge- the challenge? Ensure each team member understands the critical information efficiently without succumbing to the usual training fatigue. 

From her experience at a previous training, she noticed that going the traditional quiz route often fell short, failing to capture engagement, well that was until Samantha discovered our new Timer feature and she added a timer to the training assessment quiz.

 

The Countdown Begins

The Timer Feature introduces an element of urgency, turning an everyday quiz into a thrilling race against time. The countdown becomes a motivator, pushing your students to think on their feet, enhancing cognitive agility, and injecting a dose of excitement.

Our Timer Feature isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, it’s customizable, allowing you to set the tempo of your quizzes and forms.

Adjust the timer duration to suit your content and audience, ensuring a seamless blend of challenge and engagement.
