How to Turn Any YouTube Video Into a Quiz With EdCafe AI

-

 As teachers, we love using videos in lessons—they’re engaging, visual, and often explain a concept in a way that connects with students. But there’s always one big challenge: how do you know if students are actually taking in the information?

That’s where the YouTube Quiz Generator in EdCafe AI becomes a game-changer.

1. Turn Any Video Into Instant Questions

Here’s how it works:

  1. Find the YouTube video you want to use.

  2. Copy the link at the top of the page.

  3. Paste the link into EdCafe AI’s YouTube Quiz Generator.

That’s it! The tool instantly creates a quiz for your chosen video.

2. Choose the Question Style and Level

The generator lets you fully customize the quiz to your teaching needs:

  • Question types: multiple choice, short answer, or mixed

  • Number of questions: 5, 10, or more

  • Language & level: from Year 7 to GCSE/Year 11 (and beyond)

I personally prefer short-answer or mixed questions over multiple choice, since it challenges students a bit more.

3. Ready-Made With Answers and Explanations

What I love most is that the tool doesn’t just generate questions—it also gives you:

  • Model answers

  • Explanations (in case you freeze while trying to explain something on the spot!)

It’s like having a teaching assistant write the quiz for you while you focus on delivering the lesson.

4. Save and Organize in Your Library

You can save the quiz directly into your EdCafe library. For example, I saved mine as “Photosynthesis YouTube Video Quiz” in a folder just for YouTube resources.

From there, you can:

  • Print the quiz

  • Export it as a document

  • Share it with students via QR code or link

  • Even collect responses in real time

This means you can run the quiz live in class or assign it as homework.

5. Make It Visual With AI Images

To make quizzes even more engaging, you can add images. Upload your own, or use EdCafe AI’s image generator. For example, I created an illustration of:

  • A plant on a lab desk

  • With light shining on it

You can pick from styles like photographic or illustrated, tweak prompts, and instantly drop the image into your quiz.

Why This Feature Is a Lifesaver

For me, this tool:

  • Keeps students engaged while watching videos

  • Saves me time thinking up questions

  • Provides ready-made answers and explanations

  • Lets me build polished, interactive quizzes in minutes

No more worrying if students are zoning out during a video—now I can keep them accountable and make sure they’re learning actively.

🧪 How to Calculate the Real Size of a Cell from a Microscope Image

Microscopes open up a world of discovery, allowing us to see cells—tiny building blocks of life—that are far too small to view with the naked eye. But once we’ve zoomed in using magnification, how do we figure out the actual size of what we’re seeing? This post will walk you through the process of calculating the real size of a cell using magnification and a ruler. Whether you're a student preparing for an exam or a teacher looking for ways to break it down for your class, this step-by-step guide will help. 🔬 Why Micrometres, Not Millimetres? Most cells we encounter are smaller than 1 mm. So, using millimetres (mm) to describe them wouldn’t make much sense—they’re simply too tiny! Instead, we use micrometres (µm) . Micrometres use a symbol that looks like a little “u” with a tail: µ . And here’s the key conversion: 1 mm = 1000 µm So, a typical cell might be anywhere from 10 to 100 micrometres wide . 🧫 What Does Magnification Mean? When you see a cell under a microscop...

  When learning how to calculate the actual size of a cell under a microscope, it can feel a little overwhelming at first. But don’t worry—it’s just like following a recipe. Once you know the ingredients (your values) and the steps (your formula), it all clicks into place! In this blog post, I’ll walk you through a typical exam-style question: calculating the real size of a cell when a scale line is provided. This method is frequently tested, so understanding it will boost your confidence and exam marks. Let’s break it down step-by-step with a real example and some visual support from my latest video.   🧪 Scenario: You’re Given a Scale Line Imagine you’re looking at a microscopic image of a cell, and underneath, you see a little black line labelled 1 µm . This is your scale line—it tells you that the line on the image represents 1 micrometer in real life. Now, using your ruler, you measure that this line on your printed or digital image is 13 mm long. The goal is to fig...
