Frequently Asked Questions About AI Bank Generation
Get clarity on how our tool integrates with your workflow for creating LMS-ready content.
How does the AI structure questions for Canvas compatibility?
The AI analyzes the semantic structure and difficulty level of your source content. For Canvas, the crucial step is exporting the final set using the QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML format, which Canvas natively supports for importing question banks.
What file formats can I upload to generate my bank content?
You can upload PDFs, DOCX files, and images (PNG, JPG). Alternatively, you can provide a detailed text prompt describing the specific topic and depth required for the question bank.
If I generate a quiz, can I use it for my Canvas course?
Absolutely. While you can practice interactively, the primary benefit for LMS users is the export functionality. You can save the entire question set in PDF, Word, QTI 2.1, or Moodle XML format, making deployment trivial.
Is there a cost associated with generating large question banks?
The tool offers a generous free tier for initial use and practice. Our paid plan unlocks higher generation credit limits and access to our most advanced, high-context AI model for building extensive, complex question sets.
