Better exams, new onboarding and improved Kahoot import

Published on

In May we focused on exams: fewer clicks and better usability, especially on smartphones. We also revised the onboarding and improved the Kahoot import.

What is new at a glance

Exams

Improved exams

Many users told us that confirming every single answer was cumbersome, so we simplified the exam interface.

  • No separate confirmation: answers no longer need to be locked in after each question.
  • Optimised for smartphones: the exam interface has been redesigned for mobile use.
  • Better navigation: participants can flag questions, jump back to unanswered ones and keep track even in longer exams.

Usability

New onboarding with progress tracking

Hundreds of new teachers sign up to QuizAcademy every month. To make getting started easier, we revised the “First steps” onboarding. You will find it under your profile the next time you log in.

  • Step-by-step guidance for exams, courses and live events.
  • A progress indicator with a recommendation for the next step.
  • A certificate at the end.

Usability

Collapsible help buttons

The help buttons in the bottom right can be collapsed to keep the interface tidy.

Who is this update for?

Examiners and teachers whose participants sit exams on a smartphone benefit from the simplified interface. New teachers get to their first course faster with the revised onboarding. Anyone who wants to switch from Kahoot can bring existing content over with the improved import.

  1. In the left-hand CMS menu, open “Progress” under “Profile”.
  2. Follow the recommendation for the next step, for example for exams, courses or live events.
