QuizAI for Teachers — How-To Guide

A plain-language manual for running quizzes with QuizAI, from your first sign-in to handing back scores. No technical background needed.

QuizAI works on two surfaces that always stay in sync:

• the web app — your full command center, on any browser;
• the Teacher mobile app (Android) — built for the classroom: scanning answer sheets with the camera, quick edits, and notifications while papers are being processed. Currently available for volunteer testers

You can start something on one surface and finish it on the other.

Before you start

1. Sign in with your school account (Google Sign-In or your email and password). If your school linked QuizAI from its own portal, one click there signs you straight in.
2. Check your classes. Classes synced from your school's system appear automatically. You can also add your own class — on the web dashboard, or with the Add Class button at the bottom of the mobile Classes screen.
3. Check your students. Open a class to see its roster. You can add students one at a time, or paste a whole list (from a spreadsheet) in one go. Student ID numbers are digits only — they have to fit the bubbles on the printed answer sheet.

💡 You don't need an email address for every student. An ID number is enough; QuizAI creates the account for you.

Pick your journey

There are four ways to run a quiz. They differ in how much you type and how students answer.

All four end in the same place: the Results page, with scores per student and item analysis when the quiz closes.

Journey 1

Live Quiz → Results

Run a question-by-question session that you control from the front of the room, while students answer on their own phones or computers.

1. Create the quiz (web: Create Quiz on a class card; mobile: Create Quiz on the Quizzes screen). Add your questions and options, and mark the correct answer for each.
2. Set the quiz to Sync (live) mode in the quiz details, and publish it.
3. Generate a questionnaire (optional but recommended) — this gives the session a reference code and a QR code students can scan to join.
4. Start the session. On the web, open the quiz's Live console. On mobile, open the questionnaire and choose Present.
5. Students join by typing the reference code or scanning the QR code. You'll see a counter of joined students.
6. Push questions one at a time. Advance in order, or tap any question in the picker to show it. You can lock and unlock answering at any moment. A live counter shows how many students have answered the current question.
7. Finish and check Results. Scores appear instantly — every answer was recorded as it happened. Release the results to students when you're ready (or let them release automatically, depending on your quiz setting).

💡 You can switch devices mid-session — start presenting from the web console and continue from your phone, or the other way around.

Journey 2

Quiz → Questions → Options → Correct Answer → Questionnaire(s) → Scan Answer Sheets → Results

The classic paper workflow: author the full quiz, print it, and let QuizAI grade the bubbles. Create questionnaires with random sets of questions and scanned answer sheets align them under one quiz.

1. Create the quiz and choose its class.
2. Add questions. Type each question, its options, and tick the correct answer. You can also bulk-import questions from text, or copy them in from one of your other quizzes.
3. Generate a questionnaire (web: the quiz's Generate Questionnaire card). QuizAI produces a printable PDF with a unique 5-character reference code and, if you want, shuffled question and option order — generate several questionnaires for multiple test versions, each with its own code and answer key.
4. Print the questionnaire and its answer sheets. The answer sheet's student-ID bubbles automatically match the longest ID in your class. Half-page (two per sheet) and full-page layouts are available.
5. Give the quiz. Students shade their ID number, the reference code, and one bubble per item.
6. Scan the answer sheets. Use the mobile app's camera (it guides you with corner markers and can even fire the shutter by itself when the sheet is aligned), or upload photos/scans on the web. Scan a whole stack one after another — each sheet is processed in the background.
   • Tip: start scanning from the quiz itself (Scan sheets on the quiz card). Then even a smudged or wrongly-shaded reference code can't send a paper to the wrong quiz.
7. Watch the scores arrive. The mobile app notifies you as each sheet is graded — student name and score in a pop-up. The Pending Scans screen shows anything still in line.
8. Review and fix anything odd (see Fixing scans below), then open Results.

🔒 Once a question appears on a scanned sheet it locks — you can't edit or delete it anymore, so already-recorded scores always stay true to what students actually answered. Duplicate the quiz if you need a revised version.

Journey 3 - AutoQuiz

Scan Master → Scan Answer Sheets → Results

Already have a quiz on paper? Skip the typing. Shade the correct answers on one answer sheet — the master — and let QuizAI build the quiz from it.

1. Prepare the master sheet. Take a blank QuizAI answer sheet and shade the correct option for every item, like an answer key.
2. Scan the master. On the web dashboard, use the scanner button on the class card. On mobile, open Classes, tap the ⋮ menu on the class, and choose Scan master answer sheet. The same camera guide you use for student sheets helps you frame it.
3. Wait for the notification. In a moment, QuizAI tells you the master was parsed and a new quiz named QuizAI-«reference number» now exists for that class, with your shaded answers set as the key.
4. Check the key. Open the quiz's Answer Key screen on mobile — a bubble matrix showing every item with the correct option shaded. If a bubble didn't read cleanly, the item says tap to key: just tap the right option. You can also tap a different option to move a key, slide a row right to delete an item, drag rows to re-order, or add more items — all until the first student sheet is scanned.
5. Scan the students' answer sheets from the quiz (Scan sheets), exactly as in Journey 2 step 6.
6. Results. Scores appear under the quiz as usual.

A few things to know about AutoQuizzes:

• The questions and options are blank placeholders — only the correct letters are set. That's fine for paper-only grading; fill in the real text later if you want students to see the quiz online.
• AutoQuizzes are always paper/asynchronous (no live mode) and items stay in order.
• After the first student sheet is scanned, the quiz freezes: the key, the items, the details, and the quiz itself can no longer be changed or deleted. Everything stays editable until then.

Journey 4 - AutoQuiz

Bubble Matrix → Scan Answer Sheets → Results

The same idea as Journey 3, but you tap the key out on screen instead of shading a paper master. Fastest way from an answer key in your hand to graded papers.

1. On mobile, open Classes, tap the ⋮ menu on the class, and choose Create AutoQuiz (bubble matrix).
2. Type a short description (e.g. "Chapter 3 long quiz") in the box above the matrix.
3. Tap the correct option for each item. The screen starts with 40 rows; use the Add items box below the matrix if you need more. Tap a bubble again to clear it.
   • Only items with a shaded option are included in the quiz — they become the score's denominator. Unshaded rows are simply ignored.
4. Press Finalize. The button shows how many items you've keyed. Confirm, and the quiz QuizAI-«reference number» is created for the class.
5. Adjust later if needed on the same Answer Key screen as Journey 3 — re-key, re-order, add or remove items, edit the description (it saves itself when you tap away) — until the first sheet is scanned.
6. Scan the students' answer sheets from the quiz, and collect your Results.

After the quiz

Results, fixes, and housekeeping

Reading the Results page

• Every student appears once, with their best/latest attempt — whether they answered online or on paper. Paper scores show the student's ID and name.
• When you close the quiz, the Item Analysis page shows which questions were hardest and which best separated strong from weak performers.
• Results reach students immediately or only when you release them — your choice, per quiz.

Fixing scans (the Review console)

Sometimes a photo is dark, a bubble is half-shaded, or a student mis-shades their ID. Open the scan in Review (web) to:

• see the photo side-by-side with what QuizAI read;
• correct the student ID, date, reference code, or any answer;
• crop, rotate, or re-process the photo;
• add a student who isn't on the roster yet — one click enrolls them in the class and attaches the sheet to them.

QuizAI also helps itself: partially-readable student IDs are matched against your class list and only accepted when exactly one student fits — it will never silently grade the wrong student.

Notifications (mobile)

The mobile app checks for news every 15 seconds while it's open (you can set 5–60 seconds in Settings → Notifications). A parsed master sheet or a freshly-graded paper pops up in the middle of the screen — read it, tap Close, and the next one follows.

What locks, and when

These locks exist for one reason: a score that's already on a student's record must always match the paper they handed in.

Quick scanning tips

• Lay the sheet flat, in good light, with all four corner squares visible in the camera frame.
• The viewfinder's corner markers show where the sheet's printed squares should sit. Turn on Live Alignment in Settings and the markers turn green when you're lined up — and can even take the photo for you.
• No signal? Keep scanning. Sheets wait safely in the queue on your phone and upload themselves when you're back online.
• Scanning from the quiz card (Scan sheets) is always safer than scanning from the general scanner — the papers are pre-addressed to the right quiz.
