Frequently Asked Questions for Educators

Clarifying deployment, security, and functionality for academic use.

How does the AI generate high-quality questions from complex academic material?

The AI uses advanced natural language understanding to map conceptual relationships within your uploaded texts. It doesn't just pull sentences; it synthesizes core learning objectives into novel, valid assessment items, mimicking expert question authoring techniques.

What file types are supported for bulk content upload by faculty?

We support major academic file formats including PDF, DOCX, PPTX (PowerPoint slides), and common image formats for diagram-based questions. This ensures nearly all lecture and textbook materials can be leveraged.

Can the platform generate tests compatible with our university's Learning Management System (LMS)?

Absolutely. A core feature is robust export functionality supporting QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, allowing direct import into Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and other major LMS platforms with minimal reformatting.

Is there a free trial available before committing to a paid institutional plan?

Yes, we offer a completely free tier that allows you to experience the core generation capabilities and see the quality of the AI output. Paid plans unlock higher generation credits and access to our most advanced reasoning models for complex subjects.
