Frequently Asked Questions

Get clarity on integration, functionality, and our commitment to quality assessment generation.

How does the AI ensure the quiz is truly 'Canvas Compatible'?

Compatibility is achieved through precise adherence to industry standards. We generate export files in QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML formats, which Canvas natively supports for easy import of structured assessment items, including question text, options, and rationales.

What specific file types can I upload to generate my unit quiz?

You can upload standard formats including PDF, DOCX, and PowerPoint (PPTX). We also support image files (PNG, JPG) of diagrams or notes, or you can start entirely from a text prompt describing the unit you need tested.

Besides Canvas imports, what other export formats are available?

In addition to QTI and Moodle XML, you can easily export quizzes as standard PDF documents for review or printouts, and as Word (DOCX) files for easy editing outside of the LMS environment.

Is the Canvas compatible quiz generator entirely free to use?

A significant number of credits are available for free use, allowing you to generate and test quizzes from your materials immediately. Paid plans unlock higher generation limits and access to our most advanced AI model for complex topics.
