Create a quiz with Microsoft Forms
As an educator, you can use Microsoft Forms to quickly assess student progress and get real-time feedback through the use of quizzes that you design and share with your class.
You can create a quiz with questions that are required to be completed, display question hints, and even display students' points and feedback after they complete the quiz, which make for a more interactive learning experience for your students.
Microsoft Forms also comes included with rich, real-time analytics that provide summary information for the educator as well as results for individual students. You can export the quiz results to Microsoft Excel for more in-depth analysis.
