Description
Online quizzes and flashcards for WordPress. Qwizcards lets you create fill-in-the-blank questions with “autocomplete” suggestion lists. You can include images, and labels that can be dragged-and-dropped to hot-spot targets on the images. Qwizcards includes progress and reporting features — students can log in when they take a quiz, and you can get score reports by student. See https://qwizcards.net
An interactive what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) “wizard” makes it easy to create quizzes and flashcard decks, and/or you can edit the shortcodes directly. Online demo: https://qwizcards.net/wizard
In the WordPress Block Editor, open a Classic paragraph or block and click the “Q” icon to get started! (In either the “Block Editor” or the “Classic Editor” you may have to click the “Toolbar Toggle” icon to see the “Q” – it’s in the second row.)
