Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common queries regarding our AI generation and LMS compatibility.

How does the AI ensure the questions match my specific material?

The AI uses advanced document processing to identify core concepts, headings, and detailed text within your uploads (PDFs, DOCX). It then uses these extracted knowledge points to formulate contextually accurate multiple-choice questions, ensuring high relevance to your source material.

What types of files can I upload for quiz creation?

We support uploads for PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), various image formats (for scanned materials), or you can simply provide a detailed text prompt describing the topic you wish to cover.

Can I export the generated quiz for offline use or LMS import?

Yes, the application supports exporting assessments in several key formats: standard PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), QTI 2.1 (highly compatible with Canvas), and Moodle XML (for direct Moodle platform import).
