Teacher Help — Quizzes & Sessions
ScholarForge
ScholarForge helps teachers share classroom-ready resources and collaborate on units that work.
Built by educators. Designed for classrooms, homeschoolers, and lifelong learners—anywhere.
Quizzes & Sessions
Build quizzes your way, open a session, share a code, and review attempts—without chaos.
The key idea
Teachers build quizzes. Students do not see them automatically.
Students only take a quiz when you open a session and share an access code (or link).
Ways to build a quiz
You can build quizzes in the way that fits your time and workflow.
- Import (CSV): fastest when you already have questions in a spreadsheet.
- Build from Banks: pull questions from your question banks.
- Add Manually: add individual questions one at a time.
You can mix and match (import some, then add a few manually).
Supported question types
ScholarForge supports a full range of question formats.
- Multiple choice
- True/False
- Matching
- Drag-and-drop ordering (where enabled)
- Short Answer / Essay
Short Answer / Essay can use AI-suggested grading to save time (teacher remains in control).
Step 1 — Create (or choose) a quiz
- Go to Teacher Area → Quizzes
- Click New Quiz (or open an existing quiz)
- Build the quiz (import, bank, or manual)
- Save
Tip: If you’re in a hurry, start with a short quiz and add more later.
Step 2 — Open a session
A session is what makes a quiz available to students.
- Go to Quiz Sessions
- Create a session for the quiz
- Set it Open when you’re ready
You can close a session anytime (useful for ending a quiz window).
Step 3 — Share the access code
Students use a code to join the session.
- Copy the session’s access code
- Tell students to go to the Student Portal (or the Join page)
- They enter the code and begin
Tip: If a code “doesn’t work,” it’s usually because the session isn’t open yet.
Step 4 — Review attempts
After students submit, you can review results and attempts.
- Look for completed attempts
- Check scores and status
- For Short Answer / Essay, review AI suggestions if enabled
AI-suggested grading (Short Answer / Essay)
For written responses, ScholarForge can provide an AI-suggested score and/or feedback to help you grade faster.
You stay in control: you can accept, adjust, or ignore the suggestion.
- Best use: speed up routine grading and consistency checks
- Teacher controls: final score and final feedback
- Tip: read the student response first, then use the AI suggestion as a second opinion
Common “uh-oh” moments (and fixes)
- Students can’t join: confirm the session is Open and the code is typed exactly.
- Wrong quiz shows up: make sure you opened the correct session tied to the correct quiz.
- Students can’t find where to enter the code: send them to Student Portal or /quiz/join.php.
- Someone started too early: close the session, then reopen when ready.
