Quizziz is an online assessment tool that allows to teachers and students to create and use one another’s quizzes. After providing students with a unique access code, a quiz can be presented live as a timed competition or used for homework with a specific deadline. After the quizzes have been completed, students can review their answers. Furthermore, the resulting data is compiled into a spreadsheet to give the instructor a clear visual of the students’ performance in order to analyze trends in which areas might need the most focus in the future. This immediate feedback can be used by teachers to revise future learning activities and altar the focus of material by putting a larger emphasis on concepts that students are struggling with.

Quizizz has a very straightforward layout and the site does a great job of walking you through the quiz-making process step by step, so as not to overwhelm the user. Taking the quizzes themselves is also extremely intuitive. Once the students have entered the access code, all there is to do is select an answer to the questions as they appear. It’s also worth noting that the quizzes can be accessed on any device with a web browser. Joining the site is completely free; there are actually no paid features on Quizizz for K-12 teachers.
The only personal information that the instructor needs to provide in order to make a quiz is a valid email address. The site’s privacy policy states that this is not shared with anyone except to comply with the law, develop products, or protect the site’s rights (Quizizz’s Privacy Policy). Nevertheless, quizzes can also be selected without signing in to the site, the results just won’t be saved permanently for reference. Students are never asked to sign up to take quizzes; they simply make a temporary username rather than registering with a permanent name. Not only does this make the process easier and quicker, it allows students to take these quizzes anonymously if they so choose, while still being able to see how their results compare to the rest of the class’ as a whole.
This tool does lack in accessibility, however. It doesn’t provide any modifications to allow students with visual impairments to participate in the quizzes.
