Frequently Asked Questions
Answers regarding AI generation and LMS export capabilities.
How does the AI ensure the quiz questions are relevant to my source material?
Our AI uses advanced natural language understanding (NLU) models trained on educational assessment patterns. It identifies core concepts, hierarchies, and key definitions within your uploaded documents (PDFs, DOCX) to formulate questions that directly test comprehension of that specific content.
What types of files can I upload to generate my formative quiz?
We support a wide range of inputs for maximum flexibility, including PDF documents, DOCX (Word), PowerPoint presentations (PPTX), and common image formats. You can also simply type a prompt describing the required topic.
Can I really export the quiz for use in my existing LMS?
Yes. We prioritize compatibility. You can export quizzes in PDF, standard Word (DOCX), QTI 2.1 format (widely accepted by most modern LMS platforms), and Moodle XML specifically.
What is the difference between the free plan and the paid plan?
The free tier allows you to try our AI quiz generation capabilities with a set number of credits. The paid plan unlocks significantly more generation credits and grants access to our most advanced, high-capacity AI model for complex or lengthy materials.
