Who can use this?

  • Who: Teachers and co-teachers
  • Plans: All plans, with the All Assignment Types add-on on Lite
  • Where: New assignment, then the Quizzes or Exams card

​
Limits and notes

  • The handout is one document up to 100 MB. A text PDF beats a photo.
  • Once the handout has been read, Type and Handout lock. Questions and answer keys stay editable.
  • Reading a short quiz takes a minute or two. A long exam can take five or six.

​
Before you start

Have the blank paper as a file, and your answer key if you have one. Without one, the AI drafts an answer key for every question and you approve it.

​
Set up a quiz or exam

1

Type

Choose Quizzes or Exams under Question based.
2

Handout

Type an Assignment title. Upload the blank paper under the handout heading; the AI reads it and pulls out each question. Add your answer key under Answer key / rubric, or leave it blank. Under Grading rules, Award partial credit is on by default, giving credit for each correct part of a question that accepts more than one answer. Set Check grammar and the Feedback length, then select Continue.
3

Wait while it reads

The page reads Reading your assignment… and moves on by itself. If nothing has changed after a few minutes, refresh.
4

Questions

Check what came out. Documents are messy, and the AI is reading one. Fix wording, points, sections and sub-parts, then Save changes and Continue. Review questions and answer keys covers the editor.
5

Answer keys

An answer key is drafted for every question as you arrive. Mark the correct answers, check the points, and edit the rubric on open-ended questions. Continue finalises them.
6

Student work

Choose where the work comes from, and select Continue. The assignment opens on its Submissions tab.
In Instant, upload the paper in 1. Assignment, choose Quiz or Exam as the type or leave Auto-detect, and add the answer key in 2. Rubric / answer key. Everything else is drafted without a stop.

​
How to tell it worked

The Assignment tab lists the questions with their points and answer keys. Uploaded work grades per question, and the grading screen shows a question rail on the left.

​
If something goes wrong

“We read your handout but couldn’t pull any questions out of it.” A clearer copy usually does it: a text PDF beats a photo, and a locked file can’t be read. Select Try a different file.
The file is scanned badly, photographed, or password-protected. Fix the file and select Try again.
Edit them on the Questions step rather than re-uploading. Merging, splitting and renumbering are all there.
On Lite, question-based types need the All Assignment Types add-on. Work you upload before adding it is held, not lost.
Opens GradingPal on the screen this page describes.
