Frequently Asked Questions on Quiz Generation & Export
Quick answers regarding file handling and the intelligence behind our assessment creation.
How does the AI ensure questions are suitable for formative assessment?
The AI is trained on educational assessment principles. It prioritizes questions that test understanding over simple memorization, often focusing on 'why' and 'how' rather than just 'what.' The inclusion of detailed explanations for every option is fundamental to its formative utility.
What specific file types can I upload for quiz generation?
You can upload common document formats including PDFs, DOCX files, and PowerPoint presentations. Additionally, the tool supports quiz creation directly from uploaded images (like handwritten notes or diagrams) or through direct text prompts.
Can I export the final quiz to a Word document (DOCX) for paper distribution?
Yes, DOCX export is a core feature. Once your AI-generated quiz is complete, you can download it in a clean, structured Word document format, making it simple to print or use in Word-based assessments.
Is the export process difficult for specialized formats like QTI or Moodle XML?
No, the export process is streamlined. For educators using specific platforms, the AI generates fully compliant QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML files, allowing for smooth import directly into most major LMS platforms without manual reformatting.
