Hello and welcome to Quizbase! Quizbase helps teachers like you generate quizzes, tests, and exams from the course material they already have. Let's take a walk through the platform.

If you don't yet have access to the program, send us an email at quizbase@scholarshelf.org.

Once you log into the platform, you will be presented with your home dashboard. We're going to start by creating a new class using the "Create Class" button beside "Your Classes."

Once you have clicked the "Create Class" button, Quizbase asks you some information about your course, such as the title, the grade, and some initial information about your first unit. For instance, as a social studies teacher, this might be:
  • Course Title: Ancient History
  • Grade: 6th Grade
  • First Unit Title: Learning to Read Maps
  • First Unit Description: Here you can put your schools goals for 6th grade social studies, the types of things a student will learn in this unit, and any other information. This will inform the AI for what sorts of things to test the student on.
Don't worry, you will be able to edit this later.

Once you create the class, you'll see the heartbeat of Quizbase: the class editor. As you can see, Quizbase wants you to add your course material before you do anything else. Go ahead and click on the "Add Material" button.

It will ask you to drag and drop some materials. You can either click on the box, or drag from your File Explorer. I am going to put our lesson plans for the next 2 weeks into this box. Quizbase works better the more materials you add, but works just fine with your detailed unit or lesson plans. Some folks add their proficiency scales here too.

Clicking "Upload File" will upload the file to our systems, allowing us to use it in our AI magic to generate an assessment for you! Now we see a "✨ Generate Test" button. Let's go ahead and click that colorful button to generate our test.

Now we can customize our test. For this quiz, I just want a standard 10 question test. This will generate a test with 4 multiple choice (select one), 4 multiple select (select many), and 2 essay questions. You can customize this through the "Advanced Settings" button.

We'll now see a loading page. This may take a few minutes, especially with longer quizzes. Please note that AI does make mistakes! Always make sure to review a test before printing it.

Once finished, you will see the "Quiz" page. Here you can review, change the answers, and change the order of questions. This one looks good to me, so we're going to go ahead and click "Print Preview."
Editing our assessment 95.1 KB View full-size Download

On this page we can see our assessment as it will look on a piece of paper. This is what it will look like from the students point of view. We can change the number of lines for our essay questions, and then print the test once we are ready. We can also click back on the test name to edit something if we think it needs to be changed.
