Description: This is an online program patterned after Jeopardy that can be easily edited to create a fun competitive activity to assess comprehension after instruction. For example, I have provided a library resource overview and then divided the class into two teams to play online Jeopardy.  I've created categories such as "Library Website" or "Using the Online Catalog" or "Finding a Book" and created answers on what I felt are the most important takeaways from my instruction. Students need to answer in the form of a question!
