This paper describes experiences with online quizzes in an operations management course. Online quizzes were introduced to offset larger class sizes. During several quarters, experimentation with online quizzes took place including the number of attempts, the amount of time allowed and the topical coverage in the quizzes. Three research questions are explored: what type of online quiz taking behaviour do students have? Do online quizzes help students improve their grade, that is, Does improvement occur within a course? and, Does the use of online quizzes help a class overall? It was concluded that online quizzes do not significantly improve student learning.
