Adaptive quizzes

An adaptive quiz fits itself to the student: it starts with easy questions and climbs until it finds the student's level, from 1 to 10. Use it for practice, for placement tests, and for students who want to check themselves.

  1. The questionsFrom an exam of mine, or from the library by subject.
  2. The rulesPractice, a placement test or a free climb.
  3. Create the quizThen send students the link or the QR code.
  4. Each student's levelFrom 1 to 10, on the results page.

Making a quiz

In the side bar choose "Adaptive quizzes", then "New adaptive quiz". You can also start from an exam: in the exam's studio, click "Adaptive quiz".

  • The quiz: a title, and a few words to the students (optional). Students see them before they start.
  • The questions: "From an exam of mine", or "From the library, by subject" and the questions' language. From the library you can add questions everyone has shared too. Only questions that are checked automatically go in: multiple choice, true/false and completion. A chart shows how many questions there are at each level.
  • The rules: choose a ready kind, then change any of its rules.
    • Practice: the correct answer after each question; two mistakes at a level end it.
    • Placement test: no answers shown; three mistakes at a level end it.
    • Free climb: mistakes don't stop it; students go as far as they can.

You can also set the level to start at, how many right answers move up a level, after how many mistakes the quiz ends, the most questions to ask, and whether to ask for the student's name.

Each question's level

It starts from the difficulty in the question's classification, or the one the AI set. As students answer, the level is updated by the share of right answers. A question with no difficulty counts as level 5 until it's answered.

Sending it to students

Press "Create the quiz", and the quiz's results page opens with the students' link and a QR code. "Copy link" copies the link. Students need no account: they open the link, type their name (if you asked for it) and start.

The student sees a "staircase" of 10 levels. When the quiz shows the right answer, after each answer the student sees whether they were right. Either way, they see when they move up a level. "End and see my level" ends it midway. At the end they see the level found and the way up to it. "Try again" starts a new attempt.

The results

The results page lists every attempt: the student, the level found, how it ended, how many questions and right answers, when, and how long it took. Another table shows each question with its level by the answers. The quiz list shows the number of attempts and the average level. "Close" stops new attempts, and "Open" lets them in again.

Guests can make up to two adaptive quizzes, with up to 30 attempts each. Signing up allows more.
