Formal. Ask your students online

Last updated on 12 February 2025

Formal is an astonishing tool that makes it possible to Create online assessments, quizzes and questionnaires for your students. 

The special feature of Formative is that possibility to follow the answers of your students and give them a live feedback. It is a bit like in language labs where the teacher could listen to the student of their choice. With Formative you will be able to follow on screen the answers of all your students as they write them. Impressive.

But before you see the answers, you first have to create the assignment or the questionnaire. Formative makes it easy with a very simple interface that allows you to create any type of question. A question with holes, a question with multiple choices, open questions, but also, and this is one of the originalities of Formative, the possibility of answering with an image or with a kind of virtual slate on which the student can write or draw.

Formative also allows you to create a online evaluation from one of your documents. Simply upload the file in Word or PDF format, the tool will allow you to insert any type of question.

The use of the service is ultimately quite simple. You create a homework or an evaluation. You submit it to your students via a unique code. They enter the code on the site and answer your questionnaire. You will be able to see the answers in real time on your personal dashboard. All you have to do is return to them, which is also live. Nice to meet you.

Formative works on any type of device connected to the Internet. Computer, but also tablet. It is free for the world of education. Only regret, the interface of the tool is in English. No need to have an expert level, but we would love to be able to use Formative in French.

To be tested.
