6.1.5 Game Settings

 

As an incentive and teaching tool, QuickTables offers several short games in which students practice the facts they have been learning.
To access the Game Settings, from the QuickTables sub-navigation, select Class Settings.

Minimum time to spend on a daily session before games are available
This is the minimum time students must spend in QuickTables before games become available. Please note that if this is set to a length of time greater than the daily time limit for QuickTables (first setting at the top of the QuickTables Course Settings screen), the student will never have access to the games.

Maximum number of games per daily session
As students progress in QuickTables, they are given access to a greater variety of games. You can limit the number of times a student can play the games in a daily QuickTables session (default 6).

Reset high score chart
The final option for the Game Settings, is to reset the "high score chart" at regular intervals. Playing QuickTables games, students earn numerical scores that are compared with the scores of other students in the class. The current "high score" is reset at the interval that you choose (default weekly), to establish a regular period of competition among students for added motivation.
