Multiple choice
Students pick from up to 4 options. See the response split live as a bar chart — reveal correct answers with one click.
Short answer
Free-text responses, marked automatically by AI against a model answer. Instant per-student feedback with override controls.
Extended response
Multi-paragraph open questions with criterion-based AI marking. Review, moderate, and override marks before releasing results.
Mind map
Students build branching idea maps from a central concept. Responses aggregate into a shared class mind map you can explore live.
Poll
Open-ended opinion or confidence-check polls. No right or wrong — great for reading the room at the start or end of a lesson.
Word cloud
Students submit words or short phrases that build into a live class word cloud — popular answers appear larger. Great for brainstorms and vocabulary checks.
Drag & drop
Students sort, rank, or categorise items by dragging them into zones or sequences. Automatically marked with visual feedback on placement.
Fill the gaps
Students complete sentences or passages by typing into blank spaces or dragging word choices. Supports multi-word answers.
Draw
Students annotate an image, diagram, or blank canvas by drawing freehand. Ideal for labelling diagrams, sketching graphs, or showing working.
Match pairs
Students connect items on the left with their correct match on the right. Great for vocabulary, definitions, cause-and-effect, or key-term revision.
Think, Pair, Share
Students think independently, then discuss with a partner before sharing with the class. A structured oracy routine that deepens thinking before speaking or writing.
Talk before you write
Students articulate ideas aloud before writing — solo reflection or partner discussion. Reduces blank-page anxiety and improves the quality of written responses.
Diamond 9
Students rank nine statements or concepts from most to least important in a diamond arrangement. Generates discussion, debate, and critical comparison between ideas.
