Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PowerPoints, or images directly from your course content. The AI intelligently analyzes the material to create highly relevant knowledge checks.

Deep Formative Analysis

Every generated multiple-choice question includes comprehensive, option-specific explanations, promoting active recall and true understanding rather than just memorization.

Seamless LMS Deployment

Export directly to formats required by major Learning Management Systems (LMS), including QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, ensuring immediate system compatibility.

Master Formative Assessment with AI Integration

Creating effective formative quizzes that align perfectly with specific learning objectives is time-consuming. Relying on generic question banks often leads to irrelevant testing scenarios. Our AI quiz maker specializes in converting your proprietary courseware—your PDFs and documents—into targeted assessments. This ensures your formative quiz accurately reflects exactly what you taught.

  • Achieve high topical authority by testing precise content.
  • Leverage built-in explanation-based learning.
  • Eliminate manual formatting headaches for LMS deployment.

For educators prioritizing reliable integration, the ability to generate QTI 2.1 files is essential for maintaining assessment integrity across digital teaching environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers regarding AI generation and LMS export capabilities.

How does the AI ensure the quiz questions are relevant to my source material?

Our AI uses advanced natural language understanding (NLU) models trained on educational assessment patterns. It identifies core concepts, hierarchies, and key definitions within your uploaded documents (PDFs, DOCX) to formulate questions that directly test comprehension of that specific content.

What types of files can I upload to generate my formative quiz?

We support a wide range of inputs for maximum flexibility, including PDF documents, DOCX (Word), PowerPoint presentations (PPTX), and common image formats. You can also simply type a prompt describing the required topic.

Can I really export the quiz for use in my existing LMS?

Yes. We prioritize compatibility. You can export quizzes in PDF, standard Word (DOCX), QTI 2.1 format (widely accepted by most modern LMS platforms), and Moodle XML specifically.

What is the difference between the free plan and the paid plan?

The free tier allows you to try our AI quiz generation capabilities with a set number of credits. The paid plan unlocks significantly more generation credits and grants access to our most advanced, high-capacity AI model for complex or lengthy materials.
