How it works
Make a quiz for your LMS in three steps
From a blank page or a pile of Word documents to a quiz your LMS accepts, in a few minutes.
-
Write or generate the questions
Type them straight into the editor at the top, or hand the AI a topic, PDF, slide deck or URL and get a full draft in about a minute. Already have questions in Word? Skip straight to the export tool below.
-
Fine-tune in the editor
Every draft lands in the quiz editor on this page. Edit wording, set the pass mark, add a timer, shuffle answers. New to it? The build guide walks through each setting.
-
Deliver it to your LMS
Share the quiz link, paste the responsive embed snippet into any LMS page, or export your questions as a Moodle or Blackboard import file with the free tool below.
Free to use. No signup to try the generator.
Turn plain questions into Aiken, GIFT, Moodle XML or Blackboard files
Paste questions from Word, a doc, or your AI draft. The converter runs in your browser: nothing is uploaded, no signup, and the file downloads instantly in the format your LMS imports.
Paste questions on the left, or hit Load sample.
Input rules and Aiken format example
Write one question per block, with a blank line between blocks. Start each option with a letter and a period. Mark the correct answer with a star, or add an ANSWER: line the way Aiken format itself does:
Which planet is closest to the sun? A. Venus B. Mercury C. Mars D. Earth ANSWER: B
- Aiken format supports one correct answer per question. The ANSWER line needs a capital letter and a space after the colon.
- True/false works in Aiken as a two-option question (A. True, B. False).
- Questions with several correct answers convert to GIFT and Moodle XML only; the Aiken tab skips them and tells you.
- Files download as plain UTF-8 text, which is what Moodle and Blackboard expect. Smart quotes from Word are cleaned automatically.
Which format does your LMS import?
| LMS | Import file from this page | Other ways to deliver a quiz |
|---|---|---|
| Moodle | AikenGIFTMoodle XML via Question bank, then Import | EmbedShare link |
| Blackboard | Tab-delimited .txt via Tests, then Upload Questions | EmbedShare link |
| Canvas | None here yet Canvas imports QTI packages, which this tool does not produce | EmbedShare link works in any Canvas page |

| Schoology | None here yet | EmbedShare link |
| Google Classroom | No file import for external quizzes | Share link posted as an assignment |
| Intranet / SharePoint / Notion | Not needed | EmbedShare link |
A file import puts the questions inside your LMS question bank and its native grading. The embed or link route keeps grading, timers and result cards in Quiz Maker, with results in your dashboard either way.
Moodle quiz generator
Generate questions with the AI at the top, then export Aiken for simple multiple choice, GIFT when you need several correct answers, or Moodle XML for full fidelity. Import under Question bank, then Import, and pick the matching format.
Blackboard test generator
The Blackboard tab produces the tab-delimited file Blackboard Learn accepts under Upload Questions: MC, MA and TF rows. Build the questions here, upload the file, and Blackboard grades natively.
Canvas quiz generator
Canvas takes quizzes by QTI package, which this exporter does not write yet. The reliable route today: generate and edit your quiz here, then embed it in a Canvas page or post the share link. Results stay in your Quiz Maker dashboard. Running staff training in an LMS? The employee training quiz maker adds certificates and retake rules.
A full quiz editor, not just a question dump
Whatever the AI drafts, you stay in control. The editor at the top of this page is the same one behind every quiz on the platform.
Draft with AI, then switch on exactly the controls your course needs.
AI question generation
Paste a prompt or drop in a PDF, slide deck or URL. The free AI quiz generator drafts editable questions in about a minute.
Auto-grading and pass marks
Set a pass mark and tiered outcomes once. Every submission is scored instantly and routed to the right result card.
Timers, attempts and shuffle
Per-question or whole-quiz timers, capped or unlimited attempts, and shuffled answer order to keep assessments honest.
Certificates
Issue PDF certificates with your logo, the score, the date and a verification ID, emailed when someone passes.
Results and CSV export
Per-person scores, completion rates and question-level stats in the dashboard. Export to CSV or stream to a webhook.
Embed anywhere
Every quiz has a responsive embed snippet that works in LMS pages, intranets, SharePoint, Notion and WordPress.
Access control
Keep a quiz open to anyone with the link, or gate it behind login or one-time codes when identity matters.
Courses and teams
Chain quizzes into a multi-step course with a learner portal, and share a question library across admin seats.
Why put quizzes in your LMS at all?
Not because engagement dashboards like them. Testing is one of the few study activities with strong, replicated evidence behind it. Here is what the research actually measured.
Lessons go in, quizzes space out the recall, and more of it is still there a week later.
Recall one week later
Students read the same passages, then either restudied them or sat practice tests. A week later, the tested group remembered half as much again.
What this means for your course: three short quizzes beat three rereads of the same chapter. That is an argument for quizzes between lessons, not just a test at the end.
Data: Roediger and Karpicke (2006), Experiment 2, prose passages. Psychological Science
Ten study techniques, rated
A five-author review graded ten common techniques on how reliably they work across ages, materials and settings. Two came out on top. Both are what a quiz does.
Note what scored low: highlighting and rereading, the two things learners do most. Bar length shows the utility grade, not an effect size.

Only practice testing and distributed practice earned the top grade in the Dunlosky review. A quiz schedule inside your LMS applies both at once, with no extra work from the learner.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Aiken format?
Aiken is Moodle's plain-text format for importing multiple choice questions. Each question is a block: the question on one line, options as capital letters with a period (A. B. C.), and an ANSWER: line naming the correct letter, with a space after the colon. The export tool on this page writes it for you.
Does Aiken format support true/false or multiple answers?
Partly. True/false works as a two-option question (A. True, B. False). Questions with more than one correct answer do not work in Aiken at all: use GIFT or Moodle XML for those, both of which the exporter also writes.
What is the difference between Aiken and GIFT format?
Aiken is the simple one: multiple choice with a single correct answer, easy to type by hand. GIFT packs each question into braces with = for correct and ~ for wrong answers, and adds true/false, short answer, matching and partial credit. If your quiz is plain multiple choice, use Aiken; if it needs anything more, use GIFT or Moodle XML.
How do I import a quiz into Moodle?
In your course, open Question bank, then Import. Pick the format (Aiken, GIFT or Moodle XML), upload the file you downloaded here, and Moodle adds the questions to the bank. From there, add them to any Moodle quiz activity.
How do I upload questions to Blackboard?
In Blackboard Learn, open a test and choose Upload Questions, then select the tab-delimited .txt file from the Blackboard tab above. Blackboard reads the MC, MA and TF rows and adds the questions to the test.
Does this work with Canvas?
Canvas imports quizzes as QTI packages, which this exporter does not produce yet. What works today: build your quiz here, then embed it in a Canvas page or share the link with your class. Grading and results stay in your Quiz Maker dashboard.
Does Quiz Maker support SCORM?
Not natively. For SCORM-required programs, embed Quiz Maker quizzes inside your SCORM-compliant LMS, or run them standalone and export completion data into your LMS reporting.
Is the LMS quiz generator free?
Yes. The free plan covers quiz creation, AI generation, sharing and embedding, and the export tool on this page is free with no signup at all. Premium plans add advanced result logic, custom branding, team collaboration and reporting.
Can the AI build a quiz from a PDF or Word document?
Yes. Drop a PDF, Word doc, slide deck, URL or video transcript into the box at the top and the AI drafts the questions. You review and edit every question in the editor before anything is published or exported.
Can I convert a Word document to Aiken format?
Yes. Copy the questions out of Word and paste them into the export tool above. It cleans smart quotes automatically, flags anything it cannot read, and downloads a UTF-8 .txt file that Moodle's Aiken import accepts.
Build it here, then send it to your LMS
Draft the questions with AI, shape them in the editor, and leave with a share link, an embed snippet or an import file.
About this page
The quiz editor and AI generator at the top are the live Quiz Maker product, not a mockup. The export tool runs fully in your browser; your questions are never uploaded to our servers. Its output follows the format specs Moodle publishes and the tab-delimited upload layout Blackboard Learn uses.
Quiz Maker is our product. Nothing on this page requires payment, and the exporter needs no account. Two limits, stated plainly: the exporter does not yet write QTI packages for Canvas, and Quiz Maker does not export SCORM.
