What Is a Quiz?
A quiz is an interactive tool designed to test knowledge, reinforce learning, or encourage active participation. With Timepath, you can easily create digital quizzes using your own questions or automatically generate them from article content. These quizzes are simple to build, highly customizable, and can be embedded directly into your learning materials or website.
How It Works
Creating a quiz with Timepath is fast and intuitive. Start by selecting how you want to build your quiz — using article links, automatic generation, or custom input. You can then add, edit, and organize questions in a clean and visual interface.
Timepath supports multiple question types, including multiple choice and true/false, giving you the flexibility to create different forms of digital assessment. You can also provide feedback on answers, assign point values, and control how results are shown to students.
Smart Question Generation
Timepath offers three options for question input:
Article Links – Paste the URL of a news article, blog post, or reading assignment. Timepath will automatically extract the content and generate relevant quiz questions.
Automatic Generation – Let Timepath create general-purpose quiz questions using AI. Ideal for quick, ready-to-go quizzes.
Custom Questions – Manually enter your own questions and answers for complete control over the quiz content.
This flexibility allows you to build quizzes that align with your teaching style or learning objectives, whether you're working with custom lessons or real-world reading material.
Customizing Your Quiz
Once your questions are added, you can fully customize your quiz:
Edit questions and answers
Reorder the question sequence
Provide explanations or hints
Apply branding or design elements to match your classroom or institution
This makes Timepath a powerful tool for both short assessments and in-depth knowledge checks.
Publishing Your Quiz
When your quiz is complete, publishing it is as simple as embedding it on your website or learning platform. Timepath provides an iframe embed code that you can copy and paste into your CMS, digital worksheet, or class site. The embedded quiz is interactive, responsive, and ready for students to use immediately.
