Frequently Asked Questions About AI Assessment Generation

Addressing common concerns about data privacy, file compatibility, and test quality.

How does the AI ensure the generated questions are relevant to my unit?

The system utilizes advanced natural language processing to extract core concepts, learning objectives, and factual details directly from the uploaded documents (PDF, DOCX). This ensures the quiz accurately reflects the specific knowledge gaps present in your source material.

What types of files can I upload to create my unit quiz?

We support common academic file formats including PDF, DOCX, and various image formats (JPEG, PNG) for textual content extraction. You can also use text prompts for conceptual quizzes.

What export options are available specifically for Canvas integration?

Crucially, we support both QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML formats. These are the industry standards that Canvas LMS natively accepts for mass quiz importing, making deployment swift and error-free.

Is the Canvas compatible quiz maker free to use?

Yes, basic generation and use are available on our free tier using standard AI models. Paid plans unlock higher generation credit limits and access to our more advanced, high-fidelity AI model for complex content.
