ColabYard can automatically generate quizzes from a PDF upload or directly from an existing interactive lecture, saving trainers from having to write questions from scratch. The AI reads the source content and produces relevant, ready-to-launch questions that reflect what students actually covered. This turns quiz creation from a time-consuming task into a fast, content-driven process, letting trainers spend more time teaching and less time preparing.

AI Generated Quizzes

Colabyard Quizzes let trainers create and launch interactive quizzes that students join instantly, with answers and results updating live as the session runs. Trainers get real-time insight into performance, with results and motivational feedback shown to students who aren't at the top, keeping the experience encouraging rather than discouraging. Built into the same gamified LMS as GreenBoard and Discussions, Quizzes give trainers a fast, low-friction way to check understanding without breaking the flow of a session.

Quizzes

Teaching a live session today often means switching between five different tools, one for slides, another for quizzes, another for group work, another for the whiteboard, and hoping nothing breaks in the transition. ColabYard brings all of that into one platform, where lectures, quizzes, discussions, whiteboards, and applied activities work together seamlessly. Learners join instantly with a QR code, no account or download needed, while AI helps trainers generate content,always with the trainer approving before anything reaches students. This is ColabYard: everything you need to teach live, in one place.

ColabYard — Introduction

Discussions is a real-time group discussion tool where trainers create up to four timed breakout groups, each joinable by its own QR code or link, with optional AI-generated Tutor Prompts that auto-fire during the session or can be triggered on-demand for groups that finish early. Students post sticky notes, react, comment, and see typing indicators live, while trainers moderate from an Observe view with post/word counts, AI-likelihood badges, and per-group engagement tracking. The session wraps up with a cross-group contribution leaderboard, a full-screen presentation mode for debriefs, and options to refresh or clear the board for reuse with a new cohort.

ColabYard 's Activities section offers a range of interactive exercise formats — including matching pairs, sequence matching, categorisation, and fill-the-blanks — designed to test understanding beyond simple multiple-choice. These formats adapt well to different subject areas, from ordering steps in a coding process or maths problem to sorting concepts in a case study scenario. By giving trainers flexible ways to build hands-on, applied exercises, Activities help students demonstrate real understanding rather than just recognising the right answer.

Activities - Match Pairs

Sequence activities challenge students to arrange a set of items into the correct order, making them ideal for testing process-based understanding like coding steps, mathematical workings, or the stages of a case study. Students drag and drop items into place, get immediate feedback on whether the order is correct, and can refine their answer until it clicks. This format helps trainers move beyond simple recall and assess whether students truly understand how and why steps happen in sequence.

Activities - Seqeunce

Categorisation activities ask students to sort a set of items into the correct groups, making them well suited to testing classification skills across coding, maths, and case study contexts. Students drag and drop each item into its matching category and receive immediate feedback on their choices, reinforcing understanding through active sorting rather than passive recall. This format helps trainers assess whether students can distinguish between related concepts and correctly apply that understanding in context.
