The time(r) has come! Customisable quiz timers are here. From daily knowledge checks to high-stakes tests, boost the flexibility and reliability of student assessment with quiz timers that keep students focused and offer actionable time-based insights into learning progress.

With added flexibility to manage assessments, teachers can now easily configure precise quiz timers to match their lesson workflow, to fit time allotments for quizzing, and better support student learning needs in synchronous and asynchronous assessment contexts.

With flexible quiz timers, you can:

  • Say goodbye to external timers, clock watching, and third-party timer apps. Flexible built-in timers give you more control over your assessment workflow to match your lesson and use fewer tools.
  • Boost student confidence and focus when it matters most. Keep students on task and reduce anxiety with visible student timers - no more hovering over anxious shoulders and less panic to finish quizzes on time.
  • Instantly see learning progress with time-based insights. Easily monitor student progress, target support, and get deeper signals of comprehension in real-time.
  • Boost exam integrity and reduce cheating. Tailor the controls you need to manage high-stakes assessments with confidence, in and out of class.
