Frequently Asked Questions About AI Assessment Creation
Get clarity on how our assessment authoring platform works and how it integrates into your teaching schedule.
How does the AI ensure question quality when generating from my documents?
The AI utilizes sophisticated natural language processing trained on pedagogical best practices. It identifies core concepts, relationships, and learning objectives within your uploaded files (PDF, DOCX) to create distractors and correct answers that test deep understanding, not just rote memorization.
What file types and sources can I upload to generate my custom quizzes?
You can upload standard documents like PDFs and DOCX files. Additionally, you can input images containing handwritten or printed notes, or bypass file uploads entirely by providing a detailed text prompt defining the subject matter.
Can I export the generated quizzes for offline use or institutional compatibility?
Absolutely. The platform supports essential export formats including universally readable PDF, editable Word (DOCX), and industry-standard formats for advanced testing environments: QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
Is this assessment authoring tool free to use, or is there a paid tier?
The core functionality is available completely free of charge, allowing you to generate a limited number of quizzes. Our paid plans unlock significantly higher generation credits and access to our most advanced, high-capacity AI model for larger curriculum needs.
