Quizizz is an interactive, gamified learning platform centered on building quizzes to assess student learning. In addition to traditional, multiple choice quiz types, Quizizz also offers a wide variety of customizable options to create quiz questions tailored to the assessment level, subject matter, or desired response types. Quizizz can be used to create interactive lessons, polls, surveys, and even memes that can be embedded into a quiz or lesson. These lessons and quizzes can be taken by students outside of class or shared live by instructors for in-class assessment. Instructors using Quizizz also have access to a large library of already made games, lessons, and quizzes across a variety of subjects and levels to use as a template for building a new quiz, or as a ready-made option. Additionally, Quizizz offers a built-in grading system for ease and generates data reports so instructors can see where students are engaging with materials, succeeding, and where they might need additional help.

Quizizz is an interactive quiz building platform designed to engage students on a deeper level than traditional quizzing. Use it live for in-class lessons or quizzes or assign to students to complete on their own time outside of class. Quizzes offers much of the same functionality and use as many other quizzing platforms, with the addition of interactive and gamified options. Students can interact with Quizizz individually or in teams right on their own devices. Here are some ideas about how to use Quizizz in your class:
- Have a check in poll or prompt to get your students warmed up for class
- Run live games during class to review concepts, check student knowledge, and make learning a friendly competition
- Create “exit tickets,” or quick questions students respond to before leaving class to gauge what information stuck with them from the day’s lesson
- Have students create their own quizzes to share with the class
- Vary your assessment types by allowing students to respond to questions with video, audio, sketches, and more
- Run friendly study competitions in or outside of class by separating students into teams seeking the highest score while still focusing on important concepts
- Use anonymous polls and surveys to gather student feedback throughout the term
