Frequently Asked Questions on AI Quiz Generation

Expert answers regarding our assessment authoring capabilities.

How does the AI ensure the questions created are truly formative?

The AI is trained to prioritize questions designed to test comprehension immediately after learning, often focusing on 'why' concepts or application rather than just surface-level memorization. This focus can be further refined by specifying 'formative' intent in your initial prompt.

What specific file types can I upload for assessment authoring?

We support a wide array of inputs crucial for educators, including PDF, DOCX, and PowerPoint files, as well as direct image uploads of handwritten notes or printed textbook pages.

Can I export my custom formative quizzes for use in my LMS?

Yes. We offer robust export options including standardized formats like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, which are perfect for seamless integration into most major Learning Management Systems, alongside standard PDF and DOCX exports.

Is there a cost associated with using this AI assessment authoring software?

The core functionality is free to use, providing excellent utility for educators. A paid subscription unlocks access to our most advanced, nuanced AI model and provides significantly higher daily generation credits for bulk quiz creation.
