StarQuiz is an AI-powered formative assessment platform for higher education instructors. It generates quizzes from lecture materials, slides, documents, and recordings, grades written responses automatically, and surfaces student misconceptions in real time. The platform is free for faculty and integrates with major learning management systems including Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, and Moodle. StarQuiz was created by the team behind Huxli, a study tool that served over 350,000 students, and is a member of NVIDIA Inception.
Key Features
- AI quiz generation from course materials: Instructors create assessments from slides, Google Docs, web articles, lecture recordings, and existing LMS content. Questions are generated in minutes and aligned to the instructor\u0027s own materials and learning objectives.
- Automated open-response grading: StarQuiz evaluates written answers against the instructor\u0027s rubric. It flags weak reasoning, partial understanding, and misconceptions the moment responses are submitted, eliminating the manual grading bottleneck.
- Real-time concept-level insight: Instructors see which concepts landed and which did not across the entire course. Students receive personalized study guidance tied to their specific gaps rather than vague feedback.
- Live lecture assessment: Instructors can generate check-ins from live lectures using their own examples and phrasing. Audio is never recorded and transcripts are deleted after generation, keeping course materials and intellectual property private.
- Multiple question types: Free response, multiple choice, and computer-enhanced questions are supported within a single assessment, giving instructors flexibility in how they check understanding.
Use Cases
- Continuous formative assessment: Instructors check understanding after each lecture rather than waiting for midterms or finals. Misconceptions are surfaced while instructors can still adjust their teaching and provide targeted support.
- Large lecture courses: StarQuiz handles large-enrollment courses and lecture halls. Instructors get aggregated insight across sections, and teaching assistants can focus support where it is needed most based on real data.
- Department and institutional adoption: Departments can license StarQuiz centrally to provide consistent formative assessment practice across courses, with automatic rostering, SSO, and dedicated onboarding support from the StarQuiz team.
Integrations
- StarQuiz integrates with Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, and Schoology. SSO, automatic course rostering, and grade passback are included for institutional deployments. Instructors can also import content directly from Google Docs and Google Drive.
Pricing
- Faculty use StarQuiz free of charge. Students pay $19.99 per term or $34.99 per year when a course requires StarQuiz. Institutions can license the platform with custom pricing that scales with enrollment, and the first instructor from any school new to StarQuiz receives full premium access through the Pioneer program.
Privacy and Security
- StarQuiz is FERPA compliant, COPPA compliant, and HECVAT ready. Data Processing Agreements are available for institutional partners. Student data stays protected, and the platform does not store audio recordings or retain lecture transcripts after assessment generation.
