Overview

QuizSlides is an innovative cloud-based quiz platform that enables easy creation of online quizzes from PowerPoint slides. It currently supports four different quiz formats:

These include novel multiple-choice test formats and marking schemes which have been designed to yield more reliable aggregate scores as compared with traditional multiple-choice tests by reducing the occurrence of guesswork.

Our story

Our story started here: [Bush, M., 1999. Alternative marking schemes for on-line multiple choice tests. In 7th Annual Conference on the Teaching of Computing, Belfast]. We developed the first version of QuizSlides in 2011. Since then we've learned a lot more about novel multiple-choice tests, what makes a great quiz platform, and how to run a sustainable business. We and our team developed our new platform in 2018. We hope you like it! Martin & Lucia.
