Wayground AI is a question generator that creates and enhances your Assessments. By eliminating the need for repetitive work, Wayground AI allows you to focus on what truly matters: supporting every one of your students. 

With this tool, you can create assessments in minutes from various content sources!

Simply upload a file, enter a prompt, or paste a link to a webpage, and Wayground AI will quickly generate questions from this content and create an Assessment/Quiz for you. You can then customize and add enhancements to the Assessment/Quiz as desired. 

How it works

There are six ways in which you can allow Wayground AI to generate an Assessment/Quiz from a variety of content:

  1. From a document: Generate questions from study materials (presentations/documents) and PDF/PPTX/DOC/DOCX/PNG/JPG files, and Wayground AI will generate questions from the content
  2. From a prompt: Enter a prompt or paste the content text to generate questions using Wayground AI
  3. From a website: Paste the link to a webpage, and Wayground AI will automatically process its contents to create an Assessment
  4. From a curriculum: If you are a science or math teacher in the USA, you can create curriculum-aligned Assessments in minutes by simply selecting your desired math or science curriculum
  5. From a YouTube video: Search for a YouTube video or paste its URL to generate questions related to the video
  6. Upload an image: Use the Wayground smartphone app to click and upload pictures of any content, and it will generate questions for your Assessment/Quiz

Once the Assessment/Quiz is created, you can edit it completely. You can modify the questions, change the question types, add or delete answer options, add images, videos, audio clips, etc.

You can use Wayground AI Enhance to take care of any customizations and enhancements to your resources to ensure accessibility, relevance, and fun for all students. Learn more here: Enhance Assessments with Wayground AI.
