Why Quizzes Work: Reinforcing Learning the Easy Way

In today’s busy classrooms, teachers need effective tools that fit into tight schedules while still making a real impact. Quizzes can offer a simple, powerful way to reinforce learning about Black Britons—and they can be integrated seamlessly into any lesson. So, we’ve added the ability for teachers to submit their own quizzes to the web app.

Boosting Memory Through Retrieval

Quizzes are designed to activate retrieval practice—a proven learning strategy where students recall information they’ve already seen or heard. This helps strengthen memory and deepen understanding. With FOBBS, it means students not only remember names and achievements but also start to connect patterns, timelines, and cultural contributions.

Quick, Easy Integration

Teachers don’t need to carve out extra time to use FOBBS quizzes. They can be used:

  • As lesson starters or exit tickets
  • After students explore a figure’s profile on the FOBBS site
  • As part of group discussions or homework follow-ups

Each quiz is short, engaging, and self-contained—perfect for busy classrooms.

Also with multiple choice answers, you can tailor the difficulty of your quiz to be easy with only two options or harder with four options.

More Than Just Right or Wrong

Quizzes are low-stakes, which makes them ideal for boosting confidence. They provide instant feedback, prompt curiosity, and encourage students to revisit content if they miss a question—all part of the learning journey.
