Quizalize is a gamified platform that’s designed to leverage quiz-style learning in the classroom.
This tool uses AI as a way to make quiz creation as straightforward as possible for educators. It also works to offer both group-based quiz options as well as individually tailored learning formats.
Since there is plenty of feedback for teachers, this can become a valuable tool for assessing progress. And since there is plenty of content already made and ready to go, this can be a powerful resource for teaching and learning.
This guide aims to explain all you need to know about Quizalize for your class.
What is Quizalize?
Quizalize is a quiz creation and execution tool. It uses AI and Google Forms integrations to make for a simple way to create quizzes. Crucially, it also gamifies the experience to make it as enthralling and engaging as possible for students.
Used by more than six million teachers and students, the company behind this says that it can offer a 25% increase in exam-pass rates as well as a 12% reduction in attainment gaps.
Since educators can use pre-built quiz options, and edit any as needed, it can make for a very simple way to build personalized learning and assessment materials for students.
Online games mean up to 100 players can compete together online, allowing this to be used beyond the class, too.
Since quiz integrations range to Google Classroom to Quizlet to ChatGPT, there are lots of ways to pull in current quiz options as well as making and sharing new ones.
How does Quizalize work?
Quizalize allows teachers to share quizzes using a code, right within Google Classroom if that’s easiest. This then connects to a class set, so multiple quiz options are there for students to take.
Teachers have the options to give hints and tips on the quiz so students can get help as they progress, to foster working independently. Once completed, they are able to see their score and the correct answers, with a prompt to retake the quiz should they have missed any questions.
Feedback for teachers is helpful here as there is a lot of data displayed on their dashboard, which offers color-coded clarity on how students are doing on an individual level (although this is a feature reserved for the premium version of the system only).
What are the best Quizalize features?
Quizalize is primarily an assessment tool, testing students and getting an idea of their understanding. But it can also help to continue the learning journey with bespoke feedback – guiding a student with less than 50% to a review video, or one with 80% to a new quiz that addresses their weaker areas.
Gamification is a big part of the draw here, with lots of original games that can be played live and online for an immersive experience. These have 3D gaming world tasks that are interspersed with quiz questions that allow students to progress if they answer correctly. These can be played individually or by the whole class at once.
Thankfully, this platform is open so you can import quizzes already built from other places such as Google Forms or Quizlet. Only now you can gamify these to be even more appealing to students.
The AI smart quiz is a great feature. This uses the smarts of ChatGPT and generates questions built around grade levels, topics, learning standards, and more. Teachers can edit these, adding images, videos, and other elements, to enrich the learning experience.
