In-Class Quiz

Complete automation from quiz creation to performance analysis β€” just provide a topic, and the AI handles the rest.

Step-by-Step Guide

Create a Quiz

  1. Click Create New Quiz
  2. Fill in the basics:
    • Topic β€” What the quiz is about (e.g., β€œPhotosynthesis”)
    • Subject β€” The academic subject area
    • Language β€” Which language to generate questions in
    • Difficulty β€” Easy, medium, or hard
  3. Choose how many of each question type you want:
    • Single-select β€” Multiple choice with one correct answer
    • Multi-select β€” Multiple choice with several correct answers
    • Text questions β€” Short answer or open-ended
  4. Optionally configure:
    • Number of random sets β€” How many randomized versions to create
    • Time limit β€” How many minutes students have
    • Additional instructions β€” Guide what kind of questions the AI should generate
    • Grading instructions β€” Your custom rubric for grading written answers
    • Personalized Challenge β€” Offer tailored follow-up practice after grading. See Personalized Challenge
    • Hold grades β€” Check this to review grades before students see them

Collect Extra Info from Students (Optional)

You can ask students to fill in details like student ID, class section, or seat number before they start the quiz. This info appears alongside their results so you can identify and organize attempts more easily.

  1. In the quiz settings, turn on Collect Extra Info
  2. Click Add Field and enter a label (e.g., β€œStudent ID”)
  3. Choose the field type:
    • Text β€” Students type in their answer freely
    • Dropdown β€” Students pick from a list of options you define
  4. For dropdown fields, click Add option to add each choice
  5. Add as many fields as you need β€” you can reorder or remove them at any time

If you’ve set up these fields on a previous quiz, click Reuse from past quiz to copy them over instead of starting from scratch.

Students see these fields on a form before the quiz begins. All fields are required β€” they must fill in every field before they can start.

After students submit, the fields you defined appear as separate columns in the results table so you can review them alongside each attempt. These fields are also included when you export student results.

Generate from Your Own Materials (Optional)

If you have existing materials you’d like to base the quiz on, upload files and pick an option:

  • Reference from files β€” The AI uses your files as context for creating new questions
  • Similar questions from files β€” Generate questions similar to the ones in your files
  • Same questions from files β€” Pull the exact questions from your uploaded files

Publish and Share

Once the quiz is generated, review the questions, then:

  1. Publish the quiz to make it available
  2. Share it with students in one of two ways:
    • Through a class session β€” Students in an active session will see the quiz in their Class Portal
    • Via a dedicated link β€” Send a direct URL that students can open from anywhere

View Results

  1. Open the quiz detail page to see all student attempts
  2. Grading happens automatically when students submit
  3. If you turned on Hold grades, review and release them when you’re ready
  4. Check performance analytics:
    • How students did on each question
    • Radar chart showing overall performance patterns
    • Individual attempt details

Review Past Quiz History as a Student

Students can revisit submitted in-class quizzes from Past Quiz History when the attempt is linked to their signed-in Chat Everywhere account.

This applies to:

  • quizzes opened from an active class session
  • quizzes opened through a dedicated link after the student logs in

If a student opens a dedicated quiz link before signing in, they will see a prompt encouraging them to log in so the quiz can be saved to their account history.

To review past quizzes later:

  1. Sign in with the same account used for the quiz attempt.

  2. Open the left sidebar.

  3. If you do not see it directly in the sidebar, click Other Features first.

  4. Click Past Quiz History from the sidebar or from Other Features.

  5. Select a submitted quiz to open the detail view.

Keep these limits in mind:

  • Only submitted quizzes linked to the student’s signed-in account appear in this history.
  • Quizzes started fully anonymously do not get added retroactively just by logging in later.
  • Submitted quiz records appear here after grading starts.
  • If the teacher is holding grades, the quiz record may appear before the score is released.

Who Can Use This

  • Teachers β€” Create, edit, publish, and close quizzes. View all student attempts and analytics.
  • Students β€” Take quizzes assigned by their teacher and view their own results (once released).
  • This feature requires a Teacher plan.

Common Questions

Students can’t see the quiz. Make sure you’ve clicked Publish. If sharing through a class session, confirm students have joined. If using a dedicated link, double-check they have the right URL.

Grading seems stuck. Written answers take longer to grade than multiple choice. If something goes wrong, you’ll see a notification β€” try re-triggering the grading.

The generated questions aren’t what I expected. Try adding more detail to the Additional instructions field, changing the difficulty level, or uploading reference files so the AI has better context.
