A class quiz built from the lesson you taught

How it works

1. 1

   Start from your material

   Notes, a hand-out, a textbook chapter you have as a PDF, a page from a revision site — grounded mode only asks about what is in the text you gave it.

2. 2

   Tune it for the class

   Set the difficulty and the number of questions, pick the types, then rewrite anything that does not match how you phrase things.

3. 3

   Play it on the board

   The PIN and QR code go on the screen, pupils join from their phones with a nickname, and the leaderboard does the rest.

Starters, exit tickets and revision

The same tool covers three different jobs. A five-question starter on last lesson’s material takes about a minute to make and pulls a class into the room. An exit ticket at the end tells you — and them — what actually landed, while there is still time to do something about it. And a longer revision round before an assessment is the one people usually skip because writing thirty questions is an evening’s work.

Because the questions come from your own material rather than a generic topic model, the round matches the vocabulary and the emphasis of what you taught, which is the difference between useful revision and a general knowledge quiz that happens to share a subject.

Retrieval practice, not just a test

There is a large body of research showing that pulling an answer out of memory does more for retention than reading the same material again — the testing effect. Spacing those retrieval attempts out over days, and mixing topics rather than blocking them, strengthens it further. A quick quiz is one of the cheapest ways to put that research into a lesson.

That is the reason Yippito exists in the shape it does: if making the quiz is fast enough, you can run one often, and frequency is where most of the benefit lives.

Practical classroom things

Pupils do not need accounts, which means no data collection for them, no password resets and no lesson lost to sign-ups — they join with a PIN or by scanning the QR code on the board. Timers are per question, so you can give a hard one longer. Question types beyond multiple choice help with subjects where recognition is not enough: pin a point on a diagram or a map, put events in order, match terms to definitions, or type a number within a tolerance.

And when a class gets the confident wrong answer, that moment is worth stopping on. Being sure and being wrong turns out to be one of the strongest set-ups for actually remembering the correction.
