Canvas Quiz Maker Prototype

QUIZZES WITHOUT THE CLICK MARATHON

Build a Canvas quiz like a spreadsheet.

Start with a blank spreadsheet and type questions directly, paste rows from Excel or Google Sheets, or import a CSV, JSON, or QTI ZIP file. No import is required, and everything stays in your browser.

Step 1
