Frequently Asked Questions

Answers regarding content generation and platform compatibility.

How does the AI generate questions from my biology notes?

The AI employs natural language processing (NLP) to analyze the context, identify key terms, relationships, and established facts within your uploaded documents. It then structures this information into validated multiple-choice formats suitable for formative assessment.

What specific file types can I upload for quiz creation?

You can upload various input types, including PDF documents, Microsoft Word files (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), and image files containing text or diagrams.

Can I export these MCQs directly into Canvas?
