Frequently Asked Questions About Canvas Integration

Expert answers regarding file formats, AI processing, and platform compatibility.

How does the AI ensure compatibility with Canvas for my generated quizzes?

Our tool excels because it natively supports exporting quiz data using QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML formats. These are the standard interchange formats recognized and imported reliably by the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS).

What file types can I upload to generate my specific tutoring MCQs?

You can upload various inputs for maximum flexibility: PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), or even paste plain text/images directly. The AI analyzes all provided sources.

Can I export the quiz in a standard format besides Canvas-ready files?

Absolutely. Beyond QTI and Moodle XML, you can easily export your generated quizzes as standard printable PDFs for offline review or as DOCX files, which are useful for manual edits or archiving.

Is there a cost associated with using this AI quiz generator for my tutoring work?

The application offers a robust free plan that allows you to test the AI generation capabilities. For heavy users, tutors requiring higher volume or access to our most advanced AI models, paid subscription tiers are available, offering increased credit limits.
