We present the idea of recurrent, in-class online quizzes as an effective and efficient way to promote student attendance (presence), engagement (participation) and to provide formative assessment (to enhance performance) within a face-to-face course. Quizzes during each class meeting encourage students to attend class regularly and participate actively. In addition, automated feedback helps students identify strengths and weaknesses and allows instructors to immediately address common mistakes and gaps in learning. In this exploratory study, the perceptions of students toward these recurrent quizzes are investigated. Results show that students feel the quizzes motivate them to attend class and participate actively. Students also reported that the quizzes helped contribute to their performance in the course by providing immediate feedback on progress and helping them identify important course concepts. All of these objectives can be achieved with minimal workload for the instructor and can easily be adapted for blended or distance courses.
