Question bank by subject

Import questions from Excel

One row per question; the first row holds the column headings. Rows with an existing Question ID update that question.

Drop your Excel file here, or click to choose it .xlsx, .xls or .csv. Headings like "Grade", "Subject", "Domain", "Section", "LO", "Question", "Option A", "Answer" are recognised automatically.

Export

Download the whole bank (including approved teacher questions) in the same Excel format, ready to edit and re-import.

Clean up old game records

A live game stores its players, answers and scores. After a game has finished these records are only needed for the teacher's report on the day. Deleting them keeps the database small and fast. Leaderboards and Insights data are kept.

Top contributors

Open the teachers' leaderboard

Each approval is logged with the teacher who suggested the question (contributions). Rebuild logs approvals made before the teachers' leaderboard existed, and removes rows whose suggestion was deleted or is no longer approved.

Look

The theme everyone sees: every page, students' phones and the game screen. Choosing one shows it on this page straight away; Save settings makes it the default. Each person can still pick their own on their device (account menu › Theme), and a PowerPoint slide can have its own.

Subject codes in question IDs

G10-AI-D01-SD02-C01-S02-Q007. Changing a code only affects questions created afterwards: existing IDs never change.

What is stored

Press "Count records" to see how much data each part of the platform holds.

Maintenance

Rebuild the catalog re-creates the outline of chapters and sections (and the search index) from the questions. Use it after editing data directly in the Firebase console.

Backup downloads the question bank, suggestions, leaderboards, Insights data and settings as one file (admins also get users, saved quizzes and every game's history and report). It contains teachers' names and emails: keep it safe.

Reset demo data clears this browser's demo data and reloads the sample lesson.
