Quizzes & Auto-grading
Multiple-choice, true/false, fill-in, ordering, matching, and essay — auto-graded where the answer is objective.
Why this matters
Assessment shouldn't require a separate plugin. Learners need testing, instructors need scoring, and both need it inside the same course experience.

Frequently asked
Can I create a question pool and shuffle questions per attempt?
Question pools and reusable question groups are part of the Advanced Quiz add-on on the Growth tier. Basic quizzes use the questions you authored directly inside the quiz.
Are essays auto-graded?
No — essay answers go to the instructor for manual review. Objective question types (multiple choice, fill-in, ordering, matching, true/false) are graded automatically.
Can learners see the right answer after submitting?
Yes — per-quiz setting. Show correct answers immediately, after passing only, or never (for high-stakes assessments).
