What ClassQuiz is
ClassQuiz is an open-source platform for creating and running interactive quizzes remotely. Organizers can build quizzes with an editor that supports pictures or explore quizzes made or imported by others. Documented question formats include range, multiple choice, voting, text, order, and check choice. Players answer questions, see their results, and can view the winner ranking; an admin can control the quiz administration screen from another device, such as a phone. The site says there is no artificial player limit and that quizzes have been tested with up to 300 players. ClassQuiz is free and available as a hosted web service or for self-hosting with Docker Compose and Git; self-hosting requires HTTPS/SSL to work properly. Users can import a Kahoot quiz by pasting its URL, but imports leave out videos, creation-date and cover-image metadata, and point multipliers. The hosted server is described as being in Karlsruhe, Germany, and hosted by netcup. The privacy policy says IP addresses are stored for abuse prevention and user sessions, and quiz/account data and hashed passwords are retained for up to 30 days after account deletion. Error logging uses self-hosted GlitchTip without an opt-out, while Plausible usage data is kept on the same server. Community help is available through the project’s Matrix Space.
