Create assessments, quizzes, and polls

Assessments give your students a way to check their understanding, reflect on what they've learned, and show you how they're doing. You can add quizzes, polls, and written assignments directly inside any lesson.

Types of assessments

Ruzuku offers three types of assessments you can add to lessons:

• Quiz — Multiple-choice questions that auto-check answers. Use these when there's a clear right answer, like factual recall or comprehension checks.
• Poll — Multiple-choice questions with no right or wrong answer. Use these to gather opinions, preferences, or for group reflection.
• Assignment — Open-ended text responses where students write and submit their work. You can review and respond to each submission individually.

You can mix and match these within a single lesson.

Add an assessment to a lesson

1. Open the lesson where you want to add an assessment.
2. Click the + button in the lesson editor to add a new content block.
3. Choose Quiz, Poll, or Assignment from the options.
4. Type your question or prompt in the text field.
5. For quizzes and polls, add your answer choices. For quizzes, mark the correct answer.
6. Click Save to add the assessment to your lesson.

You can add multiple assessments to the same lesson, and reorder them alongside your other content blocks (text, video, files, etc.).

Review student responses

For assignments, you can review what your students submitted and leave feedback:

1. Go to Manage Course and click Review Assessments.
2. You'll see a list of student submissions organized by lesson.
3. Click on a submission to read the student's response.
4. Add your feedback and click Send.

Quiz and poll results are tracked automatically. Students see whether they got quiz answers right immediately after submitting.

Tips for using assessments well

• Keep quizzes short. Two to five questions per lesson is plenty. You want students to feel encouraged, not tested.
• Use polls to spark discussion. A poll at the start of a lesson ("What's your biggest challenge with X?") helps students feel seen and gives you useful context.
• Assignments work best with clear prompts. Instead of "Write about what you learned," try "Describe one specific change you'll make this week based on today's lesson."
• Combine assessments with discussion. After a poll or quiz, add a discussion prompt asking students to share their thinking. This builds community alongside learning.
