Don't you love taking quizzes and test your intellectual capacity. It's one of the most entertaining and constructive activities that is enjoyed by most of us. Ever wondered who creates most of these quizzes for you? The credit goes to the ProProfs which is the largest repository of public quizzes and assessment tools on the web today.
Biggest Brands and Universities are taking the help of this California based Startup to help them create seamless training courses for their employees or Students. Coupled with sophisticated features and algorithms, ProProfs' advanced quizzes, elearning courses and Tracking Dashboard are helping Businesses,Educators and Students looking to increase their productivity.
"We are the Largest Quiz makers offering assessable and high end enterprise solutions," says Sameer Bhatia, CEO and CoFounder at ProProfs.
Part of the inspiration behind creating Proprofs was the lack of availability of online tools to help Students in preparing for major tests like a SAT or other IT Certifications.
"We noticed that students preparing for IT certifications and other high profile educational tests couldn’t share documents," explains Bhatia. "So we decided to create a simple and engaging tool without requiring users to download or learn expensive software," he adds.
The Company's product portfolio today includes Quizzes, Trainings and Courses, Polls, Surveys, Flashcards, Games, elearning tools for IT Certifications and SAT.
Quiz Maker
The Company created the largest library of ready-made question bank and quiz templates to help users instantly leverage pre-written questions.
“Our free database of question examples helps users create the best quizzes possible for their individual needs whether they’re an HR manager, instructor, marketer or educator," explains Bhatia.
Analytics and Dashboard
The Analytics provides real time reports and statistics on the difficulty level of each question, time taken to complete the test, quiz popularity, location of quiz takers & more.
It's again a great tool in identifying knowledge gaps, tracking performance and helping instructors or educators create more efficient and productive quizzes.
"Our Analytics provide intelligent insights allowing you to go back and improve your courses," informs Bhatia.
With Quiz Maker, ProProfs is offering the same powerful features that come with enterprise solutions for a fraction of the cost. Users can create public quizzes for free, or pay a low monthly fee for additional privacy and reporting features.
"We've received a good traction with Quiz maker," he adds.
Training maker
ProProfs Training Maker offers the options of adding videos, pictures, articles, powerpoint & documents (word or pdf) in the courses. It also integrates well with the quiz maker allowing the user to import quizzes directly into their courses with one click.
Proprofs Technology
Instructors also find it difficult to take offline content online or downloading online content to use it offline. Proprofs' technology allows instructors to upload PDF or Word docs, which can then be converted to a webpage automatically - or also provides instructors with "Allow Download" option so that content is available offline.
"We want it to work magically," quips Bhatia.
Mobile Friendly
"Mobile is a big part of our strategy and we believe in anytine anywhere learning," says Bhatia. ProProfs supports multiple platforms and browsers. So the quizzes can be accessed from multiple devices, facilitating anytime, anywhere learning.
The Tool works on all operating systems including iOS, Android, Windows, Mac or Linux.
Quiz Maker even converts any user uploaded documents into HTML5 so they can be loaded seamlessly across mobile devices.
