Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about document ingestion and quiz creation.

How does the AI actually generate questions from my lesson files?

The AI employs sophisticated extraction algorithms to identify core concepts, definitions, procedural steps, and relationships within your text. It then maps these concepts to established question formats (like multiple-choice) while ensuring distractors are plausible yet incorrect, simulating expert test design.

What types of files can I upload to generate a quiz?

We support a wide range of formats essential for academic workflows, including PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.ppt/.pptx), and various image files containing text.

Can I export the quizzes for use outside of your platform?

Absolutely. We offer robust export options to fit various needs: standard PDF and Word (.docx) for easy printing, QTI 2.1 for standardized assessment platforms, and Moodle XML for direct import into Moodle LMS.

Is the lesson-to-quiz generator completely free to use?
