What's the difference between Live and Assigned HW modes?

You can host two types of Assessments/Quizzes on Quizizz — Live or Assigned. Select the game type you'd like to host on the Assessment/Quiz detail page.

Live

Live games are ideal while conducting real-time Assessments/Quizzes with students. Once you click on the 'Play Live' button you will be prompted to select a game mode. You can either choose to play a classic, team, or test mode.

Select the mode that best suits your requirement at the time. Once you've decided on a mode, click on Host Game to get a valid game code that you can share with your students. 

Your students would need to go to joinmyquiz.com and enter the game code in order to play the Assessment/Quiz on their device.

Start the Assessment/Quiz by clicking on "Start Game" button once all your students have joined the Assessment/Quiz.

P.S.: Your students can play a live game at any time as long as it is still active. All students aren't required to join the game together at the same time. However, a game code is only active for a few hours.

Teachers also get to see a live dashboard displaying real-time scores as students attempt the Assessment/Quiz on their devices. 

Assigned HW

Assigned games are ideal when all the students are not available to take the Assessment/Quiz simultaneously.

This mode allows you to choose a deadline for the Assessment/Quiz. The game code stays active throughout this period.

Once you choose the deadline, share the game code with your students so they can attempt the Assessment/Quiz at their own time.
