RxQuiz

Introduction

RxQuiz is a utility tools that converts public Google Sheets into interactive quiz sessions.

• It is designed to make the learning experience more interactive, rather than relying on pure rote memorization.

Implementation

To set up a Google Sheet, make the document public and include the following headers in Row 1:

• Col A: Question
• Col B: Option A
• Col C: Option B
• Col D: Option C
• Col E: Option D
• Col F: Correct Answer
• Col G: General Explanation
• Col H: Explanation A
• Col I: Explanation B
• Col J: Explanation C
• Col K: Explanation D

Key Rules and Data Formats:

• Correct Answer (Col F): Must contain exactly A, B, C, or D.
• Optional Fields: Options C and D, the General Explanation, and all per-option explanations are optional.
• Dynamic Layout: If Options C and D are left empty (e.g., for True/False questions), the quiz card will dynamically display only Options A and B.
• Two Explanation Levels:
• General Explanation (Col G): Appears as a highlighted block below the question after answering - ideal for an overarching rationale.
• Per-Option Explanations (Cols H–K): Slide open beneath individual options to provide targeted feedback for each specific choice.

Summary

By creating RxQuiz, I hope to offer pharmacists interactive quizzes to test their knowledge, while empowering anyone interested in generating their own interactive questions.

• However, I find myself facing a familiar dilemma: building the tool itself is the easier half of the challenge.
• The harder part is assembling high-quality, comprehensive pharmacy question banks - such as for the Qualifying Examination to Practice Pharmacy.
• While supporting per-option explanations allows for much richer, highly relevant learning, crafting sophisticated explanations for every single option requires significantly more effort than writing a single general explanation.

Nonetheless, I have taken the initiative to draft 25 initial questions across several topics to kick things off.
