Frequently Asked Questions for Teachers

Answers regarding file compatibility, generation methods, and assessment export.

How does the AI generate questions from my history notes?

The AI uses advanced natural language processing to identify core claims, terminology, and relationships within your uploaded text or document structure. It then formulates plausible distractors and generates comprehensive explanations to test deep understanding, not just memorization.

What file formats can I upload to create my history quiz?

We support common educator files including PDFs, DOCX, and PPTX files. You can also upload images (PNG, JPG) containing text, or simply provide a text prompt describing the history topic you need tested.

Can I export the generated history quizzes for my Learning Management System (LMS)?

Absolutely. We support direct export to industry-standard formats like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, making integration into Canvas, Blackboard, or Moodle seamless. PDF and Word formats are also available for printing.

What is the difference between the free and paid plans for teachers?

The free tier allows you to test the service with a limited number of quiz generations. The paid plan unlocks significantly more generation credits per month and grants access to our more advanced, high-precision AI model for handling complex historical analysis.
