Clarifying compatibility, features, and how our AI ensures high-quality nursing assessment tools.

How does the AI generate questions from my uploaded materials?

We support uploading PDFs, Microsoft Word documents (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), and image files (.jpg, .png). You can also simply type or paste text prompts directly into the interface.

Can I export these generated quizzes directly into Canvas?

Yes, absolutely. We specialize in compatibility. You can export your quiz bank in QTI 2.1 format, which imports seamlessly into Canvas. We also support Moodle XML and standard Word/PDF exports.

Is this AI quiz generator truly free to use?

The core functionality, including basic generation and export options, is available for free up to a generous monthly credit limit. For high-volume users, educators needing access to our most advanced model or unlimited credits, we offer a competitive paid subscription plan.
