Two-Stage Exam

Today in a student engagement workshop learned about 2-stage exams.  I've done a 3-stage variation of this concept in class where we remember what's in our head (individual), what our team can piece together (group) and finally what the Internet can add.

What are Two-Stage Exams?

Two-stage exams (also called tiered exams, pyramid exams, group quizzes, collaborative testing, cooperative exams, and team-based tests) allow students to work in groups or teams as a second step in the exam process that leverages assessment in order to promote and enhance learning and content retention.
