Frequently Asked Questions About AI Quiz Generation
Quick answers regarding file compatibility, generation logic, and export capabilities.
How does the AI algorithm generate questions from my files?
The AI uses advanced natural language processing to identify core concepts, learning objectives, and key terminology within your uploaded document (PDF, DOCX, etc.). It then structures these into valid multiple-choice formats, ensuring one correct answer and creating well-reasoned, plausible incorrect options (distractors).
What types of input files or data formats do you support?
We offer comprehensive support for input materials including uploaded PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), standard image files (JPEG, PNG), or direct text input via a prompt box.
Can I export the quiz for direct import into Canvas or other systems?
Yes. Beyond standard PDF and Word exports for offline use or review, we specialize in educational interchange formats. You can export directly to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, which are the industry standards recognized by Canvas and most major LMS platforms.
Is the Canvas compatible quiz maker AI feature available for free?
The core features, including basic generation and standard exports (PDF/Word), are available on our generous free tier. Access to the highest capacity generation credits and the most advanced AI model requires a subscription to our paid plan.
