Knowt is a free service for turning documents into flashcards, quizzes, and other review activities. I featured Knowt in a blog post last year and again earlier this year. Back then it had to be used by students on an individual basis. Since then Knowt has developed a teacher platform that you can use to develop activities to directly share with your students.
I made a short video overview of how Knowt’s teacher platform works. Here are some highlights of the Knowt platform to note before watching my video.
- You can create online classrooms for your students to join. It is possible to import Google Classroom rosters.
- Knowt will generate flashcards based on the documents that you create or import (I just copied and pasted a Google Doc into Knowt).
- Knowt will generate quizzes based on your documents.
- Quiz question formats include multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, true/false, and sequencing.
- Quizzes can be graded or ungraded activities.
