Which tool should I use to make online quizzes, including free ones?
Google Forms, for a quiz people take on their own: switch on 'Make this a quiz', set an answer key, give points and feedback, and it grades every entry for free. For a live game on a screen at a class, event or team meeting, use Kahoot: Kahoot! 360 Express is free for 15-minute sessions with up to 15 people, and Pro Start is $9 a month billed yearly for up to 50 participants. Mentimeter suits a quiz inside a talk or workshop; it has a free plan, and Basic is $11.99 per presenter a month billed yearly. Teachers should look at Wayground, the new name for Quizizz, which drafts a full quiz with AI from a topic or an uploaded document and lets teachers sign up free. Microsoft Forms is the free equivalent for a team on Microsoft 365. The rule: self-paced and graded, use a form; live with a crowd watching, use Kahoot or Mentimeter.
