Course builder

  • Organize content into modules and reorder items by dragging.
  • Switch between Modules, Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions, and Files tabs.
  • Review AI proposals before applying changes to your course.
  • Export the full course package when you are ready to import into Canvas.

AI assistant

The assistant understands your course structure and can propose edits across modules and assets. Each completed response consumes AI credits based on token usage.

Credits are shown in the navigation when expanded and on your billing page. Free and Pro plans include different monthly allowances.

  1. Open Doc to Quiz from the left navigation.
  2. Upload a PDF or Word file with your questions.
  3. Review generated questions and adjust points.
  4. Download a quiz ZIP or add the quiz directly to a course.
