Education Week’s survey indicates that teachers spend about 5 hours per week planning, preparing, and grading quizzes. This equates to 20 hours per month.
Now, imagine turning those hours into zero while also turning your project into passive income. If you’re a developer or no-code creator in education, or a teacher, why not create a quiz generator app as your next weekend project?
How? By using our Microapp platform, you can start earning from other educators who need better tools without writing a single backend script.
Why Teachers Need Better Quiz Tools
In classrooms across the world, teachers are stuck using clunky quiz software or reinventing the wheel with Google Forms. The result? Wasted hours, inconsistent grading, and stressed-out educators.
But you can change that by creating a simple quiz generator app. You can give teachers a fast, intuitive way to build, grade, and share quizzes. So, whether it’s a drag-and-drop interface, automatic scoring, or ready-to-use templates for spelling tests or pop quizzes, web tools for education need an upgrade.
And your app could be the one that saves them hours each week.
