Frequently Asked Questions About AI Quiz Generation
Get clarity on how our prompt-based generator functions and how you can maximize its utility.
How does the AI generate questions from just a text prompt?
Our system utilizes advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) models trained on assessment design principles. When you provide a prompt, the AI identifies core concepts, determines potential misconceptions (which become distractors), and constructs questions that test comprehension according to the constraints you set in the prompt.
What file types can I upload for the AI to create quizzes from?
We support versatility. You can upload standard document formats including PDF, DOCX, and PowerPoint files. We also allow uploads of relevant images for visual-based question generation.
Can I export the generated quizzes for use in external Learning Management Systems (LMS)?
Absolutely. We support several professional export standards, including PDF for printing, Word (DOCX), QTI 2.1, and Moodle XML, ensuring seamless integration with platforms like Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle.
What is the difference between the Free plan and the Paid plan?
The Free tier allows you to start generating quizzes immediately with a set number of credits and access to our standard AI model. The Paid plan unlocks significantly more generation credits, provides access to our most advanced, high-precision AI model, and often includes priority processing.
