Abstract
Can we improve the examination process, making it more enjoyable and increasing perceived learning? The participatory exam process provides opportunities for students to learn from creating, reading, answering and grading exam questions. An online asynchronous learning network system facilitates the process. This paper presents the process framework, our research model and experimental results. A majority of students preferred the participatory exam and believed that it increased their learning.

The study found that students working collaboratively in either small or large groups were more interested in the material and perceived themselves to learn more than students that work individually but that students that worked individually outperformed students that collaborated in small orLarge groups before working individually.
Enhancing student learning through on-line quizzes
