What VidQuiz reads: paste a YouTube link and VidQuiz watches the video itself. For any other source (Vimeo, an MP4, a screen recording, an upload) paste that video’s transcript and VidQuiz writes the questions from it.

The short answer
Last updated July 2026
Turning a course video into a quiz means pasting each module into VidQuiz and letting it read the lesson, then write the questions for you. You get multiple choice questions with the correct answer marked, a short explanation, and a timestamp back to the moment each one tests. Edit anything, then add the quiz to your course with a share link or an export to Google Forms, PDF, or your LMS. Done per module, it turns a passive video course into one that checks understanding at every step.
If you sell or teach a course, a course video to quiz tool means every module ends with a knowledge check instead of a hope that it stuck. Paste a YouTube link and VidQuiz watches the video itself; upload the module with its transcript and VidQuiz works from that. Either way it writes multiple-choice questions with answers and short explanations.
Quizzes after lessons drive the testing effect, learners retain more and finish more. Generate a quiz per module in seconds, edit anything to match your teaching, and drop it into your course with a share link or LMS export. The result is a more complete course without the hours of writing questions by hand.

How do you add a quiz to an online course?
Generate one quiz per module straight from that module video, review it, and drop it into the lesson as a link or an LMS export. The order that works is lesson by lesson: a learner watches the module, takes a short quiz on that module, then moves on. That rhythm is what drives the testing effect, and it is far more effective than one long final exam at the end of the whole course.
VidQuiz makes the per-module part cheap. Instead of pausing to write five questions after every lesson, you paste the module and get an editable draft in seconds. The bottleneck stops being the writing and becomes the quick review pass, which is where your judgment as the instructor actually matters.
Why do end-of-lesson quizzes improve course completion?
A quiz after each lesson gives the learner a small win and a reason to keep going, and it surfaces gaps before they compound. Retrieval practice, the act of recalling what you just learned, is one of the most reliable ways to move information into long term memory, which is why a course with knowledge checks tends to be finished and remembered more than one that is pure video.
There is a completion effect too. Progress that is measured feels like progress, and a short quiz turns a watched video into a completed step. For a paid course, that momentum is the difference between a refund request and a finished student who leaves a good review.
How many questions should a course module quiz have?
For a module of ten to twenty minutes, five to eight questions is usually right, enough to confirm the main points without turning a lesson into a test. Scale it to the content rather than a fixed number: a dense module earns a few more questions, a short one fewer. The useful check is coverage, every key idea in the lesson represented once.
Generate a slightly longer draft than you plan to keep and trim. Deleting the two weakest questions is faster than realizing later that half the module went untested.
Can you add the quiz to your own course platform?
Yes. Share the quiz as a browser link learners take without an account, or export it to fit your platform. A Google Forms ready CSV suits a simple setup, a QTI package imports into Canvas, Blackboard or Brightspace, a Moodle GIFT file covers Moodle, and PDF or CSV cover printed handouts or spreadsheet work. VidQuiz writes and hands over the questions; where the score lives is your call.
