II. STEPS IN USING THE APPLICATION

1. Start by signing up: https://quizizz.com/

2. You start by working with your profile, then finding a game or creating it by yourself:

3. Game settings (https://quizizz.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000923931-What-are-the-

different-Quiz-Settings-)

The game settings appear right after you click the "Play Live" or "Homework" button on a quiz page. They are categorized into two sections: (General settings and Gameplay Settings).

General Settings

Student attempts

This setting lets you control the number of attempts for a quiz by the students. If you enable this setting from the game settings page, the student must login to attempt this quiz.

Show answers in-game

This setting controls the feedback that students see right after answering a question. You can toggle whether they get feedback on getting an answer correct/incorrect, and also whether they are shown the correct answer.

Show answers post-game

This setting controls the display of the review section for the students at the end of the game. Turn this ON to allow your students to review the questions and their correct answers. Select Questions only to allow your students to see only the question and option choices (the correct answer won't be highlighted).

Gameplay Settings

Question timer

If this is ON, we award students points based on accuracy+speed. 600 points for getting it correct, and 0-400 based on speed. (An incorrect answer is always 0, regardless of speed.) If you turn this OFF, the timer is turned off. Students will get 1000 for correct and 0 for incorrect.

Show Leaderboard

If this is turned ON, students will see a leaderboard after each question, and see their rank during and after the quiz. Turn this OFF if you don't want students to see each others' scores/rank... i.e. if you don't want the session to be competitive.

Shuffle questions

If this is turned ON, each of your students will receive the questions in a different order. This makes it difficult for students to "get help" from each other. Turn this OFF if you want the questions to appear in the original order for everyone.

Shuffle answer options

If this is turned ON, the answers will be shuffled for each question (different students will get a different order.) This helps if you don't want to worry about shuffling the answers while creating the quiz. Turn this OFF if you want the answers to appear in the original order for everyone.

Team mode (https://quizizz.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030685632-Playing-Team-Mode)

"Team mode" lets the students join a quiz as a team and work together to win. Students are still solving their own questions, but all the scores are aggregated into a Team score, which is the only rank that students see. This reduces pressure on individual students and also creates a fun environment for students to collaborate with each other.

Select a quiz and click the 'Live game' button. Now, select the 'Team' option on the game settings page as shown in the image below.

You can set your preferences now, like the number of teams, shuffle questions, etc. Click the 'Host game' button to create the game.

Once created, share the game code with your students so they can join. Students will be automatically assigned to a team as they join the quiz.

You can shuffle the team by clicking the 'Shuffle teams' button from the Live Dashboard. Or drag and drop individual players from one team to another as shown below.

After finalizing the teams, click the 'START' button to begin the quiz. The team leaderboard is updated as the students answer the questions in real-time.

How to save results?

You can always export the results after a game in form of an excel sheet as well (.xlsx file). This helps you organize and make calculations as required by you.

Step 1: To get the report in form of an excel sheet, go to Reports to find the report of the game you have completed.

Step 2: Click on the Report of the desired Completed Quiz which will take you to the Player View of the Report. Here you will find the "Download" option to export the results in form of a .xlsx file.
