Make Every Round Count: How to Use ‘Round Mode’ for Active Learning
Hello, teachers!
Today, we’re excited to share how you can use ZEP QUIZ’s new Round Mode to create fun, competitive, and engaging classroom experiences.
🙋 What is Round Mode?
Round Mode is a new quiz mode where students solve the same question at the same time and compete for higher scores. The faster they get the correct answer, the more points they earn. After each round, rankings are updated in real-time, shown to boost excitement and motivation.
🎲 Why is Round Mode Effective?
1️⃣ Real-Time Rankings Drive Focus
With a time limit on each question, students solve together and instantly see who placed in the top 3 each round. This live feedback sparks healthy competition and keeps students deeply engaged throughout the quiz.
2️⃣ Immediate Feedback Builds Ownership
Scores and correct answers are revealed immediately after each round, allowing students to reflect on their understanding in real time. This encourages self-checking and supports the development of SDL(Self-Directed Learning).
3️⃣ Gamified Visuals Keep Students Motivated
Round Mode isn’t just effective—it’s fun! Avatars and backgrounds evolve as students get correct answers, making the quiz feel like a game.
In the new Best Farmer Map, each correct answer grows a crop, and fully grown crops can be harvested. It’s a fun, visual way to reward learning progress.
🚀 How to Use Round Mode in Class
⏰ Adjust Time Limits to Fit Your Lesson Goals
For quick reviews like multiplication tables, set short time limits.
For critical thinking or discussion-based questions, give students more time. Round Mode supports flexible time settings so you can tailor each round to your teaching purpose.
🔔 Host a Quiz Show in Your Classroom
Turn the Round Mode into a classroom competition—just like a game show! Use it as an end-of-term review, a performance assessment alternative, or simply to make your lesson more dynamic. Students will love the energy and friendly rivalry.
