To test your knowledge of prominent people and major events in the news, we invite you to take our short quiz. Then see how you did in comparison with 1,003 randomly sampled adults asked the same questions in a recent national survey conducted by the Pew Research Center. For an analysis of the findings from the poll on the public's News IQ, read the full summary of findings.

A fascinating quiz that students could take (teachers too) that would provide some very engaging conversations about current events. You can compare your News IQ with the average scores of men and women; with college graduates as well as those who didn't attend college; with people who are your age as well as with younger and older Americans.

By all rights, there should be a revolt at this week's Republican convention against John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate--for the very same reasons so many Republicans opposed President Bush's selection of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court. Palin is, if anything, less qualified for the vice presidency (and the presidency) than Miers was for the court. But there is one big difference: Palin passes all the right-wing litmus tests, which means she is unlikely to suffer Miers' fate. It's amusing to watch Republicans play gender politics. At the time Bush chose Miers, he was under pressure to pick a woman to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. But most of the plausible women jurists were either too moderate to satisfy conservatives or so right wing that they faced serious confirmation problems.

ABSTRACT Introduction/Main Objectives: The productivity of online learning media for implementing learning has increased intensely since the corona lockdown. This presents a challenge to improve knowledge by developing media so that students have more time to study independently during the lockdown period.: Background Problems: Researchers compared the productivity of various learning media such as text, video, and video-text combinations.: Novelty: Statistical analysis using Mann Whitney showed significant differences in knowledge retention between the text and video groups and between the video and text-video combination groups. Research Methods: This study was conducted using a quasi-experimental post-test method by comparing participants' retention before the intervention. Finding/Results: The study involved 60 participants who were randomly divided into three groups, text (guidebook), audiovisual (video), and text-video combination. Video and text prepared by Widyaiswara. The results showed that the average scores were 35.1 (text group), 58.1 (video group), and 85.2 (text-video combination group). Conclusion: use of multimedia can increase knowledge retention in the absorption of the material.
