Quiz Maker for Substitute Teachers

Why substitute teachers need a different tool

A sub plan often includes a worksheet or reading with no built-in way to check whether students actually engaged with it, and you may not know the subject well enough to write good follow-up questions yourself on short notice. Kahoot and Quizlet assume you already know what to quiz on and have time to build it — a sub usually has neither.

SimpleQuizMaker solves this directly: upload whatever material the regular teacher left — a worksheet, a textbook page, or lesson notes — and it generates a matching quiz automatically. You don't need subject expertise; the AI reads the material and writes the questions.

What you can quiz on

• · Any subject — math, reading, science, social studies — as long as you have the material, it works the same way.
• · Reading passages — upload the assigned reading; generate comprehension questions.
• · Worksheets — generate a matching review quiz from any worksheet left in the sub folder.
• · Video or documentary follow-ups — paste a summary or transcript of what students watched; generate comprehension checks.

Question formats we generate

• · Multiple choice — self-explanatory, no subject expertise needed to administer.
• · True/False — fastest to generate and grade.
• · Fill in the blank — auto-graded, works for most subjects.

How substitutes actually use SimpleQuizMaker

Morning of, before class starts

Photograph or upload whatever the regular teacher left in the sub folder. Generate a 5-10 question quiz while students settle in, and share the link once the lesson activity is done.

Filling unplanned time

If a planned activity finishes early, generate a quick review quiz from the day's material on the spot — no need to have a backup activity pre-built.

Leaving a report for the regular teacher

Quiz results are saved with each student's name and score, giving the regular teacher a concrete record of what was covered and how students did while they were out.

Quality controls you should run

• · Skim the generated questions before sharing — a quick read confirms they match the material and grade level.
• · Don't rely on it for content you can't verify — if a question looks off and you can't confirm the right answer, remove it.
