PhosQ turns a teacher’s lesson materials into an engaging classroom check-in—without accounts, manual grading, or the pressure of speaking up in front of the class.
What PhosQ does
Built around real classroom routines, PhosQ makes formative assessment fast for teachers and low-pressure for students.
Teachers add a PowerPoint, Word, PDF, or text file, and PhosQ builds one shared pool of 16–24 approved questions. Every correct answer stays grounded in the lesson notes, while questions ask students to classify, interpret evidence, make decisions, and predict outcomes. PhosQ filters incomplete file fragments and does not use document-location or fill-in-the-blank prompts. Google Slides and Docs work after downloading them in a supported format.
Each generated username receives a different question set, arranged from easier questions to more challenging ones.
Students scan a projected QR code and start with no account, login, or personal name required.
Scores, class average, individual results, and confidence percentages update as soon as responses arrive.
Students see only their own grade after submitting. Class results require the teacher’s private access token, and the final confidence reflection never changes the score.
PhosQ includes 50 classroom-safe usernames, such as flyingfox54, so students can respond honestly without public judgment.
How it started
The idea for PhosQ began in a Grade 10 science class. Its creator recognized that every student learns differently and that even engaged students may sometimes hesitate to ask questions in front of others. PhosQ was created to make participation feel comfortable, private, and welcoming for everyone.
Developed as a summer self-directed project, PhosQ allows students to participate without using their real names. Each student receives one of 50 classroom-friendly usernames and can refresh the suggestion before joining, helping everyone contribute with confidence.
That student perspective continues to shape PhosQ. Students can join quickly, nearby classmates receive different question versions, and the questions become more challenging as the quiz progresses. Results are visible only to the student and teacher, while a final confidence reflection helps teachers understand where additional support may be useful—without adding another stack of work to grade.
The teacher view
PhosQ combines performance with confidence so teachers can decide what needs attention next.
See the overall graded result from the selected lesson questions as responses arrive.
A live three-part chart shows who gets it, who needs a little review, and who does not get it yet.
Compare scores and confidence to identify learning gaps and choose what to recap in the next lesson.
Our goal
PhosQ helps teachers understand a room full of learners in real time, while giving every student a comfortable way to participate.
